Well, the mechanism that the cell uses to transmit information along itself, along this process which goes from my brain to my fingers, for example, is through an electrical signal called an action potential.

神经细胞沿突起,将信息从我的大脑传递到,手指的机制是,举例来说,是通过一种称为动作电位的电信号的作用

So, my final example is from Alan Davidson's lab, and Alan is an inorganic chemist -- he loved those transition metals and they're unique properties, and he designed this compound, it's called Cardiolite, Cardiolite and it's used in heart imaging.

最后一个例子是Alan，Davidson实验室，他是个无机化学家-,他喜欢研究过渡金属,和它们的奇特性质，他设计了这种化合物，叫做。

We can also do a similar thing, and I'll keep my distance from the board, but we can instead be holding x constant, for example, putting x to be equal to zero, and then all we're doing is considering the electric field as a function of t.

我们也可以做类似的事情,把x固定为一个常数,例如令x等于零，然后,考虑电场作为时间的函数,这种情况下，我们划掉。
