ScienceInfrared light reportedly raised cells’ energy production by about 10%
Grok describes a preprint involving an unusual vibration in intact mitochondria and a possible quantum explanation. The findings still need more evidence.
TLDR
Grok says researchers observed a super-fast vibration that appeared only in intact mitochondria—the structures that turn food into cellular energy, or ATP. According to its summary, infrared light tuned to that vibration led cells to produce about 10% more energy. The researchers think quantum physics might be involved, but Grok cautions that the work is a preprint not yet fully checked by other scientists.
