Water deficit during flowering can severely disrupt petal expansion, water uptake, and reproductive success, yet many plants are able to recover rapidly once water becomes available again. This study ...

There are “costs of life” that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

In a pretty clear sign that hydrogen fuel cells are finally taking off, PowerCell Group just secured a SEK 12 million ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus. Pradeep ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and water treatment. In a study published in Frontiers in Membrane Science and ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

The U.S. Secret Service discovered what they say was a China-linked plot. A thwarted plot to cripple the telecommunications system in New York was bigger than investigators first realized, adding to ...

The US Secret Service this week revealed that a probe into a surge of swatting calls against high-ranking officials led investigators to a vast and stunning network of more than 100,000 SIM cards and ...
