Decoding the Hot-Mitochondrion Paradox
Peyman Fahimi, Michael Lynch, Cherif F. Matta
In a 2018 paper and a subsequent article published in 2023, researchers reported that mitochondria maintain temperatures 10oC-15oC higher than the surrounding cytoplasm-a finding t…
Rotational Dynamics of ATP Synthase: Mechanical Constraints and Energy Dissipative Channels
Islam K. Matar, Peyman Fahimi, Cherif F. Matta
The proton motive force (PMF) across the inner mitochondrial membrane delivers approximately 0.2 eV of energy per proton, powering the FoF1-ATP synthase molecular motor. Here, we p…
Costs and benefits of phytoplankton motility
Peyman Fahimi, Andrew J. Irwin, Michael Lynch
The motility skills of phytoplankton have evolved and persisted over millions of years, primarily in response to factors such as nutrient and light availability, temperature and vi…
The sounds of science a symphony for many instruments and voices part II
Gerard t Hooft, William D Phillips, Anton Zeilinger +22
Despite its amazing quantitative successes and contributions to revolutionary technologies, physics currently faces many unsolved mysteries ranging from the meaning of quantum mech…
Binary Color-Coded Magic Squares: A Study of Uniqueness Under Rotation/Reflection, PCA, and LDA Analysis
Peyman Fahimi
In this paper, we study the concept of "binary color-coded magic squares" by assigning two distinct colors to the even and odd numbers within a magic square. We investigate the uni…
A Travelling Salesman Paths within nxn (n = 3, 4, 5) Magic Squares
Peyman Fahimi, Walter Trump, Cherif F. Matta +1
Intriguing symmetries are uncovered regarding all magic squares of orders 3, 4, and 5, with 1, 880, and 275,305,224 distinct configurations, respectively. In analogy with the trave…
ATP Synthase: A Moonlighting Enzyme with Unprecedented Functions
Jean-Nicolas Vigneau, Peyman Fahimi, Maximilian Ebert +5
ATP synthase's intrinsic molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) adds constructively to, and hence reinforces, the chemiosmotic voltage. This ATP synthase voltage represents a new…
The Hot Mitochondrion Paradox: Reconciling Theory and Experiment
Peyman Fahimi, Cherif F. Matta
Experiments by Chretien and co-workers suggest that mitochondria are 10oC hotter than their surroundings. Steady-state theoretical estimates place this difference at a maximum of 1…
