Unexplained 71-terahertz signal reportedly detected in living cells and mitochondria
Above The Norm News reports that the signal disappeared when the structures were broken apart. It describes an unusual quantum effect as one possible explanation.
TLDR
Above The Norm News reports a 71-terahertz signal in living cells and intact mitochondria. A separate post describing the research says exposure to matching infrared frequencies increased cells’ ATP production by about 10%. That account says researchers suggest a polariton—a light–matter state—inside mitochondrial membranes could explain the signal. It describes the work as a bioRxiv preprint that has not been peer-reviewed and says the result needs independent replication.
