Field-control, phase-transitions, and life's emergence
Gargi Mitra-Delmotte, A. N. Mitra
Instances of critical-like characteristics in living systems at each organizational level as well as the spontaneous emergence of computation (Langton), indicate the relevance of s…
Softening the "crystal-scaffold" for life's emergence
Gargi Mitra-Delmotte, Asoke Nath Mitra
Del Giudice's group study how water can organize on hydrophilic surfaces forming coherent domains (loaning energy from the quantum vacuum), plus quasi-free electrons, whose excitat…
Consciousness: A Direct Link with Life's Origin?
A. N. Mitra, Gargi Mitra-Delmotte
Inspired by the Penrose-Hameroff thesis, we are intuitively led to examine an intriguing correspondence of 'induction' (by fields), with the complex phenomenon of (metabolism-susta…
'Genesis': A takeover from field-responsive matter?
Gargi Mitra-Delmotte, Asoke N. Mitra
Cairns-Smith (2008) has argued for a pre-Darwinian era, with a simpler basis for life's functioning via primitive "crystal genes" (information transfer, kinetic control on metaboli…
Magnetism, entropy, and the first nano-machines
Gargi Mitra-Delmotte, A. N. Mitra
The efficiency of bio-molecular motors stems from reversible interactions ; weak bonds stabilizing intermediate states (enabling conversion of chemical into…
Magnetism, FeS colloids, and Origins of Life
Gargi Mitra-Delmotte, A. N. Mitra
A number of features of living systems: reversible interactions and weak bonds underlying motor-dynamics; gel-sol transitions; cellular connected fractal organization; asymmetry in…
