Study reveals sea urchin spines' gradient architecture converts mechanical motion to electrical signals, informing designs for advanced sensing systems.

Plants don't just respond to light and water, they also run on an internal daily timekeeper known as the circadian clock. Researchers have now discovered that the plant circadian clock can regulate ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...

Diffusiophoresis refers to the directed motion of colloidal particles driven by gradients in solute concentration, whereas electrokinetic phenomena encompass a broad range of transport processes ...

For the first time, an electrical device has been powered by the ear alone. The team behind the technology used a natural electrochemical gradient in cells within the inner ear of a guinea pig to ...
