Vehicles propelled by biomass-fired electricity would travel farther on a given crop and produce fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than vehicles powered by ethanol, researchers report today. Burning ...

Mustafa Djamgoz’s interest in bioelectricity began with the first-hand experience of electricity coursing through his own biology. As a teenager growing up on the island of Cyprus, Djamgoz and a ...

In the near future, birth defects, traumatic injuries, limb loss and perhaps even cancer could be cured through bioelectricity—electrical signals that communicate to our cells how to rebuild ...

Biofuels such as ethanol offer an alternative to petroleum for powering our cars, but growing energy crops to produce them can compete with food crops for farmland, and clearing forests to expand ...

It took just a 9-volt battery and a little brain zapping to turn science writer Sally Adee into a stone-cold sharpshooter. She had flown out to California to test an experimental DARPA technology that ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

In the summer of 1986, futuristic magnetic trains and life-size robots drew a teenaged Michael Levin to the Vancouver World’s Expo. But what changed his life was an obscure used book he found on the ...

Researchers are building a case that long before the nervous system works, the brain sends crucial bioelectric signals to guide the growth of embryonic tissues. The tiny tadpole embryo looked like a ...

New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

A recent article in Advanced Functional Materials explored the use of MXene-based nanozymes for bioelectricity applications in cancer therapy. MXenes are a class of two-dimensional transition metal ...
