Molecules With Radio Emission Under Current

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for a nano-material or molecule that emits radio frequencies when subjected to a voltage or current at approximately 37 degrees Celsius. The context includes theoretical exploration and potential applications in biological systems, specifically neurons.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in finding a suitable material that emits radio frequencies under specified conditions and seeks guidance.
  • Another participant questions the feasibility of such emissions under DC voltage, suggesting that conventional antennas might be more effective if the voltage source operates at the right frequency.
  • A participant proposes the idea of integrating the material into a neuron, speculating that ion flow could generate a current strong enough to produce radio frequency emissions, though they express uncertainty about the frequency and the nature of the emissions.
  • The same participant later revises their hypothesis, suggesting the possibility of non-standard cycles of emissions in the axon and membrane, while still questioning the existence of such a molecule.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the existence of a suitable molecule or the feasibility of the proposed ideas, indicating multiple competing views and unresolved questions.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the assumptions about the nature of radio emissions, the specifics of the voltage applied, and the biological context in which these emissions are considered.

I am working on a project, however I am having trouble finding the right material for it to work. I am looking for a nano-material or any molecule that will emit a radio frequency when subjected to a voltage or a current at around 37 degrees Celsius. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction, I've never had to find something like this before.

DC voltage? I would be surprised if such a thing exists (neglecting thermal emissions). If your voltage source has the right frequency then it gets easier, but then I would simply use a conventional antenna.
What do you want to do?
 
Well, it's a long shot... But what I'm hoping to do is put it into a neuron. As the ions flow into an throughout the axon I'm hoping a current (if strong enough) can be generated and cause the emission of radio frequency.
I could be wrong here, but I believe this may result in a half cycle, but I don know to what frequency.

Think it could work?

Other than that my only shot would be to enhance natural radio emissions with nano antennas.

Any thoughts?
 
I change my mind:
Maybe 1 cycle in the axon and a weird 1.5 cycles through the membrane? its not your standard cycle but i believe it meets the definition, still a total guess though.

Does such a molecule really not exist though?!?
