Scientists Say the Constant Motion of Living Cells Could Be a Hidden Source of Electrical Power
The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
Membrane proteins are responsible for transporting chemicals and messages between a cell and its environment. But determining their structure has proved challenging for scientists. A study by UC Santa ...

Cell membranes may work like tiny power generators
Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...
