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.
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
