Here experiments show that eels can find and track conductors using these high-voltage volleys without the aid of vision, mechanosensation, chemoreception or biogenic electric fields. Figure 4 ...

of an electric eel." The researchers add that by "using the parameters extracted from the numerical model, we designed an artificial cell based on an optimized selection of conductors. The ...

So he and his colleagues decided to model their jelly battery design on the layered structure of the electric eel's electrocytes. Whereas conventional electronics employ rigid materials with ...

Artificial versions of electric ... eels, a fish species that can generate powerful shocks for both hunting and self-defence. Electricity generating cells of eel fish may serve as a model power ...
