Although several types of excitable cells exist — including neurons, muscle cells, and touch receptor cells — all of them use ion channel receptors to convert chemical or mechanical messages ...

I joined the School of Physiology, Pharmacology, and Neuroscience in July 2023 as a lecturer. Here I research and teach on understanding the biology and pharmacology of membranes proteins such as ...

The paper aimed to assess when any existing ion drive technology could port a large payload on one of several trajectories, including a trip around Jupiter, one visiting Pluto, and even one ...

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology has historically been the power cell of choice, especially given that we’re always all looking to maximize our smartphone’s battery life. However ...

Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading to generation of electrical signals. Opening (gating) of ion ...

Here’s how it works. It's hard to describe how well the Ion works without getting too lurid for T3. Safe to say, it's effective. While some of its peripheral functions aren't quite perfect ...

From Michael Hinczewski's review in The Biophysicist (July 2022) "Together with information theory, control theory is the area of engineering that has the most fundamental lessons to teach physicists, ...

The atom is neutral as it has two positive protons and two negative electrons. A helium atom that has lost or gained an electron is an ion.

Building off the ion-photon entanglement achievement announced in February, this demonstration announced in September showcases the second out of four significant milestones required to develop ...

Earth is about to have a close encounter with a comet, possibly passing through its ion tail – a rare occurrence. If we are lucky, it could show up as a blue streak in the northern hemisphere ...

What TV channel is Ion on? You can find out more about which channel ION is on in your area, locally, by using the channel ...

"It's exciting to uncover how early chemistries may have transitioned to allow for life on Earth," biophysicist Ashok Deniz, from The Scripps Research Institute said. "Our findings also hint at a ...
