Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain. Their work appears in the study, ...

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.

Beneath the sleek exterior of a modern jet fighter lie the sensors and control systems required for high-performance flight. And everything is connected by miles of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...

Silicon photonics is one of the technologies expected to shape the future of artificial intelligence, communications, and data infrastructure. By replacing electrical signals with light inside chips, ...
