Angel Caputi, senior scientist and head of the department of integrative and computational neuroscience at the Institute for Biological Research "Clement Estable" in Uruguay, explains. The electric ...

New power sources bear a shocking resemblance to the electricity-making organs inside electric eels. These artificial electric eel organs are made up of water-based polymer mixes called hydrogels.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Here is some truly shocking news: Scientists have discovered the secrets behind electric fish, using genetic studies that revealed how these exotic creatures developed an organ ...

As the world’s need for large amounts of portable energy grows at an ever-increasing pace, many innovators have sought to replace current battery technology with something better. Italian physicist ...

When scientists attempt to transfer genetic material into an organism, they often use an electric field, a technique called "electroporation," that makes cell walls more permeable. This sophisticated ...

In 1799, the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta fashioned an arm-long stack of zinc and copper discs, separated by salt-soaked cardboard. This “voltaic pile” was the world’s first synthetic battery, ...

Discover how electric eels leap out of water, validating Humboldt's historical account and showcasing their defensive eel behavior. The behavior consists of an approach and leap out of the water ...

New artificial organs may have a familiar, slimy face to thank for their near-future tech: electric eels. In a study published today in Nature, researchers at University of Fribourg in Switzerland and ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Quantitative Biology Center in Japan removed the electric organ from a torpedo and chemically stimulated the organ by injecting a solution of the neurotransmitter ...

New solutions to chip design have been introduced by fitting Organ Chips with embedded electrodes that enable accurate and continuous monitoring of trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER), a ...

This is no ordinary electric organ, my friend. Swedish software engineer Linus Åkesson loves chiptune so much (don't we all?) that he felt the urge to convert this old-school instrument into an 8-bit ...
