Most of us have probably used a 9-volt battery. They power small household items such as clocks, smoke detectors, and toys. Now think about what you could power with 860 volts. It’s 95 times the ...

In something straight out of a comic book, electric eels may be able to shoot DNA into other animals when they zap them with electricity. The electric eel can release up to 860 volts of electricity, ...

Few creatures demand respect like the electric eel, and this feeding proved why. With every movement, raw voltage crackled through the water, making the moment feel both dangerous and insane. This ...

A recent study has found that the electricity produced by an electric eel’s discharge is strong enough to cause the transfer of genetic material from the environment into the cells of nearby animals.

Inspired by the electric shock capabilities of electric eels, scientists have developed a soft, stretchable “jelly” battery ideal for wearable devices or soft robotics, according to a new paper ...
