  1. New publication: "Signal and Worker: How Proteins Activate Electrons"

    Proteins aren't passive — they're programmable phonon sources, tuned by evolution to guide electrons. The paper reveals that photosynthesis & light-induced superconductivity share the same Signal-Worker architecture, and extracts design rules for room-temperature quantum metamaterials.
