By probing piezoelectric behavior in monosaccharide crystals, researchers reveal how molecular orientation drives electrical ...

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

Researchers at the University of Warwick have found bacteria can be detected in minutes by zapping them with electricity. Scientists at the university in the United Kingdom discovered healthy bacteria ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

A new study has furthered our understanding of plant evolution by tracking the origins of electrical signaling components that plants developed to communicate and adapt to life on land. A study led by ...
