Introduction to a Submolecular Biology / Bioelectronics
The 1937 Nobel laureate in Medicine founded modern bioelectronics with this work, demonstrating that biological proteins behave like semiconductors. After identifying vitamin C and elucidating the Krebs cycle, Szent-Györgyi shifted his attention from chemistry to the physics of the living: the flow of electrons is the organising principle of physiology, every healthy cell maintains a precise electrical potential, and biochemical reactions are subordinate to deeper electronic processes. A work that anticipated contemporary biophysics by decades.
The BrainCode® Integrated Device introduces the corrective signal into the perineural semiconductor system that Szent-Györgyi identified as the organising substrate of physiology.
