Scientists today track electrical signals and voltage changes in neurons and muscle cells by labeling individual cells or probing with electrodes. Scientists have now developed a new type of sensor that employs a sheet of graphene to get a continuous measure of electric field in these tissues. Electric fields change graphene’s reflectance. The physicists found a way to amplify and measure the changes caused by action potentials in a beating embryonic chicken heart.
