NEXT WEEKEND'S FRAGMENT deals with pathologies when ATP synthase goes wrong, and how cells try and cope without this key protein machine making cellular ATP efficiently. View in LinkedIn

SPARK HAS IGNITED. "In 2012, the European Science Foundation launched its Farquest programme, aiming to map out a pan-European quantum research structure in which quantum biology plays a big role." https://lnkd.in/eHd7eD8 View in LinkedIn

SPARK HAS IGNITED. "The US defence research agency, Darpa, has been running a nationwide quantum biology network since 2010. Departments dedicated to the topic are springing up in countries ranging from Germany to India." https://lnkd.in/eHd7eD8 View in LinkedIn

COHERENCE AND ENTANGLEMENT. "Physicists find quantum coherence and quantum entanglement are two sides of the same coin." https://lnkd.in/eedvwM6 View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM BIOLOGY (QB): "the leading thread in the studies about QB is information, i.e. information processing. A biological cell also processes information and engages in signaling thereby actively performing computation." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

BIOCOMPUTING. "The computation carried out by the cell and, more generally, a living organism, has been called as biological hypercomputation." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

BIOCOMPUTING. "Interactive (i.e. non-algorithmic and non-functional) massive parallel processing as well as multilevel simultaneous processing is carried out in and by the living beings and helps understanding and define life." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

SYNCHRONIZING COMPLEXITY. "There are approximately 3 x 10(4) ATP production events per mitochondrion per second, which multiplied by the number of cells provide an enormous living chemical reactor whose entire harmony is simply fantastic." https://lnkd.in/e3j9PFZ View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM BIOLOGY. "There is a huge risk that we may be heading in the wrong direction...But my hunch tells me this is worth it because if we succeed, the payoff will be massive: We will have pioneered a new discipline.” https://lnkd.in/eZRVkpn View in LinkedIn

DARWINIAN COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. "If non-trivial quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement can enhance the efficiency of some biological processes, then one might expect life to have evolved to exploit it." https://lnkd.in/e2T5qPj View in LinkedIn
