The phenomenon, described as thermopower waves, “opens up a new area of energy research, which is rare,”…Like a collection of flotsam propelled along the surface by waves traveling across the ocean, it turns out that a thermal wave — a moving pulse of heat — traveling along a microscopic wire can drive electrons along, creating an electrical current.

The key ingredient in the recipe is carbon nanotubes — submicroscopic hollow tubes made of a chicken-wire-like lattice of carbon atoms….” Full Slice

“…I have learned how to reduce the oxygen consumption of many animals, including mammals. And there are instances where we have generated states of suspended animation – that is, where we do not see any movement as judged by high-resolution microscopy . . . and have shown that if you then place those animals into a refrigerated cold environment, they’re able to survive. But if they were animated like you and I are now, they would be dead….” Full Slice

“A team of…chemists have made a major contribution to the emerging field of quantum biology, observing quantum mechanics at work in photosynthesis in marine algae.

“There’s been a lot of excitement and speculation that nature may be using quantum mechanical practices…Our latest experiments show that normally functioning biological systems have the capacity to use quantum mechanics in order to optimize a process as essential to their survival as photosynthesis.”…it means that quantum mechanical probability laws can prevail over the classical laws of kinetics in this complex biological system, even at normal temperatures….” Full Slice
