In his article “Does new physics lurk inside living matter?” (Physics Today, August 2020, page 34), Paul Davies mentions many interesting phenomena in biology, including epigenetic influence in two-headed worms. I agree that such information might be important to both physics and biology.1
As I finished reading, I realized the article is advocating quantum biology. Davies cites a claim made by researchers in 2015 “that many biologically important molecules, such as sucrose and vitamin D3, have unique electron-conductance properties associated with the critical transition point between an insulator and a disordered metal conductor.”
What I do not know is this: How could bulk material properties such as electron conductance be defined at the molecular level? In my opinion, geometry will be more important than material properties at that level.
