Cellular nutrients come in many forms, including sugars and fats. In order to provide a cell with energy, these molecules have to pass across the cell membrane, which functions as a barrier ...

These molecules can be recycled so that a constant stream of energy rich ATP is available for all metabolic pathways in the cell. Almost all cellular processes need ATP to give a reaction its ...

They discovered that the proteins responsible for energy generation assemble into large 'supercomplexes', which play a crucial role in providing the cell's energy. Mitochondria are the powerhouses ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity. On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source.

These enzymes, called creatine kinases (CK), allow cells to transport energy produced at the mitochondria to where it is needed throughout the cell. Cancer cells rely on this machinery for ...

New research uncovers new insights into preventing chronic inflammation caused by aging-related zombie-like cells. In humans ...

The collaboration among the three companies would leverage in-basin natural gas production, advanced energy generation via fuel cell technology, and infrastructure financing to create a highly ...
