Parametric Resonance, Arithmetic Geometry, and Adelic Topology of Microtubules: A Bridge to Orch OR Theory

International Journal of Topology
Microtubules are cylindrical protein polymers that organize the cytoskeleton and play essential roles in intracellular transport, cell division, and possibly cognition. Their highly ordered, quasi-crystalline lattice of tubulin dimers, notably tryptophan

Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

What is quantum biology?

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Quantum biology is the field at the intersection of quantum-related physics and the biology of living systems. The goal of the field is to determine if quantum phenomena underpin biological function at the macroscale. Such results, supported by compelling experimental evidence, will be important because they will show how quantum effects can have ...

Programmable Stepwise Heteroepitaxial Growth of Colloidal Crystals With Different Phases

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stepwise heteroepitaxial growth is adapted to colloidal crystal engineering with DNA, enabling face‐centered cubic (fcc) facets to grow on body‐centered cubic (bcc) crystals with 110 facets. This approach tolerates large lattice mismatches, extending heteroepitaxy beyond the limits of conventional atomic systems.
