The researchers found that the conversion from excitons to trions in atom-thick semiconductors can be harnessed to detect the electrical signals of heart muscle cells -- without the need for tethered ...

For decades, researchers have debated whether brain cells called astrocytes can signal like neurons. Researchers recently published the best evidence yet that some astrocytes are part of the ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

Heart block is a disruption in the electrical signals that control your heart. Your heart depends on a steady flow of electrical signals that start in the heart’s upper chambers (atria). The signals ...
