These articles in ScienceDaily, one about molecular communication the other about cellular communication, show that we are starting to zero in on the details of basic biological functioning.
'Biological' turns out to be a nice pun. It is indeed the logical functioning of life: bio-logical.
We have also managed to film an electron going about its business.
Perhaps we shall one day be able to figure out how the hierarchy of the logic of life works, all the way up from the electron, or lower, right up to the intelligent molecular machines and the networks of them on which our cells are founded.
About Me
- Nobilangelo
- My Christian name is pronounced 'noble-arn-jillo' (i.e., both o's are long, so the first two syllables rhyme with 'noble' not 'hobble'--yes, I know that's obvious, because there's only one 'b' between the 'o' and the 'i', but some people seem to see two b's, hence the English lesson). My surname is pronounced kerra-marliss. I was born, bred and educated in New Zealand, except for an international systems-engineer's course in San Antonio, Texas. I am born-again Christian, a thinker with a very practical turn of mind, a scientist with a particular interest in planet-friendly energy and neuroscience, an engineer (mechanical, industrial and IT systems), an inventor, a Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a writer and poet, a naturist, a designer in different fields, an arranger and composer of symphonic music, a multi-award-winning IT journalist, a photographer, and a practitioner at various times in other hands-on fields including building, metalwork, woodwork, stained-glass and landscaping.
