"electric eels generate electricity... 2V 65nW 30 min... calcium signalling neurons communicate neurotransmitter release, neuronal firing, synaptic plasticity, and gene transcription... ionic gradient across a chain of droplets inspired by electric eel electricity... 4°C to turn on power... enables neurotransmitter release, neuronal firing, synaptic plasticity, and gene transcription... bio-hybrid interfaces, implants, microrobots, wearable devices, synthetic tissues, targeted drug therapies and accelerated wound healing"
