What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signaling that causes the trap to snap shut. Bioelectronic ...

Wearable medical devices that monitor heart rate, respiration and joint movements for long periods without battery concerns, ...

The fastest electrical signals in the human body can travel at up to 120 meters per second, roughly 268 miles per hour, along ...

Human beings and other animals send electrical signals via the central nervous system. The Venus flytrap, which lacks such a nervous system, also sends rapid electrical impulses, which are generated ...

A team of researchers has developed a soft, stretchy electronic device capable of simulating the feeling of pressure or vibration when worn on the skin. This device represents a step towards creating ...

Researchers have created an improved method for turning genes on and off using electrical signals. Researchers, led by experts at Imperial College London, have developed a new method that allows gene ...

Like human nerves, bacteria in biofilms can communicate using electrical signals. Now, studies show that other species can also tune in to these pulses. Bacillus subtilis swarm. In Gürol Süel’s lab at ...

Researchers have developed a new acoustic fabric converts audible sounds into electrical signals. They designed a fabric that works like a microphone, converting sound first into mechanical vibrations ...

In an effort to improve treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), researchers headed by teams at Brown University, and Baylor College of Medicine, have for the first time recorded electrical ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...
