Electron spin as a tiny bar magnet. Each electron behaves like a tiny spinning cloud of charge [4], and this circulating charge produces a magnetic field. So, the electron behaves like a microscopic bar magnet. When the spin points in one direction (“spin up,” left), the electron’s north–south poles line up one way; when it points the other way (“spin down,” right), the poles reverse. The red loops show the magnetic field lines produced by this spinning charge, emphasizing that flipping the spin flips the orientation of the tiny magnet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/65c40ff0-7cb5-4cb2-a37d-c3d3f8de5563/Figure+n.png Science - Do Cells Use a Quantum Compass to Heal Wounds? - Make it stand out Figure 2. Radical pairs as tiny quantum compasses. Light or other energy causes an electron to jump from a donor molecule (D) to an acceptor (A), creating a radical pair—two molecules each holding an unpaired electron. At first, the electron spins are opposite (the singlet state, left), but in the presence of the Earth’s magnetic field they rapidly flip back and forth between opposite and parallel alignment (the triplet state, right). Because singlet and triplet states drive different chemical reaction pathways, this spin switching steered by the geomagnetic field can change which reaction products are formed, allowing biology to “sense” magnetic direction through quantum spin chemistry. The different spin-state dependent products can then be used to orient cells, during processes like wound healing, and of course guide entire organisms via magnetoreceptive navigation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/8da79b9c-0236-441c-8e3c-95692f9a7477/Figure+3.png Science - Do Cells Use a Quantum Compass to Heal Wounds? - Make it stand out ‍ ‍ Figure 3: A) A standard scratch-wound healing assay used to test cell migration.

Color-dependent migration of muscle progenitor cells and a hint of spin-based healing. (A) Schematic of the scratch-wound assay: a confluent layer of muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) in a dish is “scratched” with a pipette tip to create a gap, then allowed to heal either in the dark or under continuous illumination with white, blue (430–470 nm), green (530–570 nm), or red (630–670 nm) light. (B) Quantification of scratch distance after healing shows that blue light produces the greatest wound closure (smallest remaining gap), while dark, green light, and red light conditions leave a much wider scratch; green and red have intermediate effects from dark (no light). (C) Relative F-actin intensity, a marker of rigid cytoskeletal structure, is lowest under blue light, consistent with a more dynamic, motile state of the cells (and better wound healing, less scaring). Together, these results indicate that MPCs are selectively sensitive to blue light in a way that enhances migration, in line with a spin-dependent radical-pair mechanism where blue-light–generated electron spins, tuned by the geomagnetic field, help steer the cellular machinery that closes the wound.

Published in the journal ACS Central Science, the study "Electronic Energy Migration in Microtubules" by a coalition of researchers from multiple institutions—including Princeton, Stanford, Oxford, Arizona State University, the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, and others— have demonstrated that microtubules, cylindrical polymers of tubulin protein, can conduct electronic energy over distances of up to 6.6 nm, comparable to some photosynthetic complexes. The crystalline order of microtubules aligns light-harvesting amino acid chromophore subunits in close enough proximity to effect relatively long-range exciton energy transfer along the cytoskeletal filaments. The findings of the study demonstrated that after photoexcitation amino acid chromophores had resonant transfer of excitation energy along the microtubule comparable in efficiency to artificial light-harvesting systems, suggesting they are natural effective light harvesting macromolecular structures and can direct coherent exciton diffusion over distances much greater than what was previously presumed from first order calculations. This finding challenges previous assumptions about the quantum properties of biological systems and may have significant implications for our understanding of cellular processes, anesthetic mechanisms implicating microtubules in cognitive processes, macromolecular optoelectrical mechanics in cellular information processing, and the development of bio-inspired technologies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/70f58588-4c64-4a83-971d-e08a79e8d59e/Figure+1.jpeg Science - Study Finds that Microtubules are Effective Light Harvesters: Implications for Information Processing in Sub-Cellular Systems - Figure 1.

Coherent energy transfer in microtubule chromophore networks is stimulated by ultraweak photoemissions due to mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Filamentous mitochondria are co-located with microtubules in the brain, suggesting that mitochondrial ROS production during respiratory activity may affect neuronal activity. Specific ROS (red and white), particularly triplet carbonyls (red and black), emit in the UV range, where aromatic networks composed of mainly tryptophan and tyrosine may be able to absorb and transfer this energy along the length of neuronal microtubules. The propagation of these excitons extends on the order of dendritic length scales and beyond, indicating that ultraweak photoemissions may be a diagnostic hallmark for neurodegenerative disease and have implications for aging processes.

Summary of the modulation of mitochondrial shape fluctuations and mobility by the cytoskeleton. Mitochondria are in close association with microtubules, being transported through them and modifying their shape as a consequence of the jittering transmitted by these filaments (green double arrows) and the interactions with F-actin and vimentin IFs, both of which would contribute to maintain mitochondria confined to microtubule network. Upon partial depolymerization of microtubules (NOC), both the mobility of the organelles (schematized with the black double arrows) and the mechanical force imposed on them decrease. Given the disruption of F-actin (LAT) and vimentin IFs (VIM−) networks, a predominance of elongated mitochondria is observed, suggesting that these filaments also modulate the organelles’ shape. F-actin depolymerization also results in increased mitochondrial mobility, suggesting that these filaments impose greater spatial confinement that restricts their motion. Perturbation of microtubule dynamics (VINB) decreases mitochondrial curvature and length compared to the control condition (All images created by A.B. Fernández Casafuz).

Every billion years (Ga) is represented by a 90-degree angle section of the spiral. The last 500 million years are represented in a 90-degree stretch for more detail on our recent history. Some of the events depicted are the emergence of cosmic structures (stars, galaxies, planets, clusters, and other structures), the emergence of the solar system, the Earth and the Moon, important geological events (gases in the atmosphere, great orogenies, glacial periods, etc.) and the emergence and evolution of living beings (first microbes, plants, fungi, animals, hominid species) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/c1f3343d-c4e7-4b90-9a2a-b17cdd489116/Figure+3.3.png Science - “Missing Law” Proposed that Describes A Universal Mechanism of Selection for Increasing Functionality in Evolving Systems - Figure 3. (A) Potential paths of the evolution of matter in the Universe (for conceptual illustration only). Arrows indicate the relative degree of probability under conventional models, with potential path 1 having the strongest degree of probability, but the lowest degree of order and complexity; potential path 2 having the lowest degree of probability, but the highest degree of ordering and complexity; and potential path 3 having a median probabilistic expectation value. (B) Postulated effect of nonlocal interactions (EPR correlations) of the ERb=EPR micro-wormhole information network on the development and evolution of atomic and molecular structures in the universe. The high density ERb=EPR micro-wormhole connections integral to complex and highly ordered molecules (pathway 2) produce a stronger interaction across the temporal dimension, as well as intramolecularly. This influences the interactivity of atoms such that there is a veritable force driving the systems to form complex associations – a negentropic effect. The trans-temporal information exchange, that appears as a memory attribute of space, is an ordering effect that drives matter in the universe to higher levels of synergistic organization and functional complexity. https://www.novosciences.org/blog/wormhole-counterportation-amp-exchange-free-computation-the-future-of-computation-instantaneous-information-processing monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/20ec5870-4a42-454a-b961-8c6c2108f9f6/Header+1.png Science - Wormhole Counterportation &amp; Exchange-Free Computation.

A schematic diagram of Salih et al.’s protocol for counterfactual communication, where, for every bit communicated, provably no photons have been sent to Bob. Beam splitters split a photon’s probability amplitude between the two eigenstates that correspond to the photon going in each direction; in the classical case, they split the beam intensity (and field). As interference still occurs, when Bob does not block, waves on both sides still destructively interfere, so the light never returns to Alice. However, Bob’s D3 and Alice’s D0 both detect light simultaneously. Similarly, when he blocks, light goes to his blockers and Alice’s D1 simultaneously. Therefore, in both cases, as light goes between Alice and Bob, it is not counterfactual. The only way to avoid this is to force the light to end at only one point - to postselect, with information only travelling when nothing goes between Alice and Bob. Only single photons can do this. Therefore, the only way to make the protocol counterfactual is to use these, and so make the protocol quantum. Image and image description reproduced from [12]: Hance, J.R., Ladyman, J. & Rarity, J.

The C-to-U editing at residue 2153 of hepatic Apo-B100 transforms the glutamate to a stop codon and produces a truncated protein Apo-B48 in intestinal cells [4]. b In neurons, mRNA editing of the glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2) at position 607 by ADAR2 results in an adenosine to inosine change. This transforms the CAG codon for glutamine (Q) to CIG for arginine (R) as (CGG), since ribosomes read inosine (I) as guanosine (G). This neutralizes the diffusion of divalent cations and makes the receptor impermeable to calcium [7]. https://www.novosciences.org/blog/fzend4h6k5ppfci206le007bj3gfpx monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/31aec609-eec4-41c1-abe7-82e69f1b2bf8/Title.png Science - Mobile Genetic Elements Generate Diversity in Response to Environmental Stress https://www.novosciences.org/blog/study-reveals-indications-of-environmental-sensing-by-genetic-apparatus-driving-non-random-mutation-for-directional-adaptation monthly 0.5 2025-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/7397489b-b59b-4da0-b77b-57192b7d158a/Header+2.png Science - Mutation Rate in Protective Gene Against Malaria Higher in Malaria-prone Geolocations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/21955177-ddaa-4141-9575-f58edce551b6/Single-nucleotide-polymorphisms-SNPs-are-genetic-mutations-that-alter-single-base-in.png Science - Mutation Rate in Protective Gene Against Malaria Higher in Malaria-prone Geolocations - Make it stand out Often a single nucleotide substitution, in this example changing an Adenine residue to a Guanine nucleotide— what is called a single nucelotide polymorphism (SNP) — results in an altered gene product, a protein with a novel functionality, or a dysfunctional protein in the case of disease pathology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/43b77b5f-952f-4fe0-8d5b-6be34f39b8d6/Single-Nucleotide-Polymorphism-SNPs-in-individual-genome-and-in-population-Status-of.png Science - Mutation Rate in Protective Gene Against Malaria Higher in Malaria-prone Geolocations - Make it stand out A single nucleotide substitution results in a single nucleotide variant (SNV), generating an allele, or variant genetic code.

The genus is genetically monomorphic, requiring extensive genotyping to differentiate isolates. We utilized two different genotyping strategies to characterize isolates. First, we developed a microarray-based assay based on 1000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were identified from whole genome comparisons of two B. abortus isolates, one B. melitensis, and one B. suis. We then genotyped a diverse collection of 85 Brucella strains at these SNP loci and generated a phylogenetic tree of relationships. Second, we developed a selective primer-extension assay system using capillary electrophoresis that targeted 17 high value SNPs across 8 major branches of the phylogeny and determined their genotypes in a large collection (n = 340) of diverse isolates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/1602547552512-HALF35NGH6D618RB6NUQ/Pub2.PNG Research - Real-Time PCR Assays of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Defining the Major Brucella Clades Members of the genus Brucella are known worldwide as pathogens of wildlife and livestock and are the most common organisms of zoonotic infection in humans. In general, brucellae exhibit a range of host specificity in animals that has led to the identification of at least seven Brucella species. The genomes of the various Brucella species are highly conserved, which makes the differentiation of species highly challenging. However, we found single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in housekeeping and other genes that differentiated the seven main Brucella species or clades and thus enabled us to develop real-time PCR assays based around these SNPs. Screening of a diverse panel of 338 diverse isolates with these assays correctly identified each isolate with its previously determined Brucella clade. Six of the seven clade-specific assays detected DNA concentrations of less than 10 fg, indicating a high level of sensitivity. This SNP-based approach places samples into a phylogenetic framework, allowing reliable comparisons to be made among the lineages of clonal bacteria and providing a solid basis for genotyping. These PCR assays provide a rapid and highly sensitive method of differentiating the major Brucella groups that will be valuable for clinical and forensic applications. https://www.novosciences.org/home-1 daily 1.0 2026-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/399be4eb-d9a4-4d98-a253-37a3d9ede69a/Screenshot+2025-12-05+153113.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1b2945ee040e31b5965ced/400c0468-e916-4e98-86f5-ba27d10d28fd/2+Firefly+quantum+entangled+magnets+connected+by+a+wormhole+spacetime+geometr Home - About Novosciences is a platform dedicated to supporting and extending a new kind of science—one that bridges invention, engineering, and theory into a unified vision.
