Abstract
Hydrated DNA confined in quasi-two-dimensional water layers exhibits macroscopic quantum coherence at ambient conditions under moderate magnetic fields. At 6 °C and low DNA concentration (100 ng/μL), we observe a sharp transverse voltage jump (∼37 mV) near 100 mT, followed by five regular oscillations (>20 mV), indicating an earlier onset of coherence compared to room-temperature transitions (∼0.5 T) at higher DNA concentrations (1000 ng/μL). These features suggest the formation of a Fröhlich-like condensate stabilized by field-induced energy localization. The system's response unfolds as geometric 'Riemann slices,' coherence domains activated sequentially by the magnetic field. The nearly flat longitudinal voltage confirms a selective transverse transport regime. Fourier analysis reveals distinct low-frequency peaks, reflecting regular internal modulation within the coherent state. Together with earlier findings of Landau quantization and ultra-weak photon emission, our results support a hierarchical model of vibrational condensation and geometric coherence in DNA–water systems, with potential implications for bioenergetics and magnetosensitivity.
期刊介绍:
BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
