High-intensity electrical pulses have been medically used to destroy tumors while sparing healthy tissue. But lower-intensity pulses may have a different effect—they reshape the battlefield, making ...

Army researchers are exploring ways to improve troops' quality of sleep through administering low-intensity electrical pulses during sleep. (Arlen Caplan/Army) Army researchers are exploring ways to ...

An electrical zap to the brain can temporarily render a person more susceptible to hypnosis, a new study shows. Participants became more easily hypnotized after paddles placed against their scalp ...

Stanford researchers found that brief pulses of electrical current can dramatically reverse stem cell damage in sea squirts and significantly extend their lifespans. The treatment triggers a two-phase ...

The human body relies heavily on electrical charges. Lightning-like pulses of energy fly through the brain and nerves and most biological processes depend on electrical ions traveling across the ...

With numerical simulations, researchers have demonstrated a new way to time weak electrical pulses that can stop certain life-threatening arrhythmias. The group shows that timed pulses are successful ...
