A Unified Mechanistic Framework for Non-Debye Anomalies in Solids and its Application to Biological Systems
The “Unified theory of phonon in solids” (2025) recently resolved a long-standing controversy in condensed matter physics regarding the relationship between the Boson Peak (BP) and the Van Hove Singularity (VHS). By modeling solids as elastic continua embedded with local “scatterers,” this theory demonstrated that these vibrational anomalies are governed by a unified phase diagram defined by two parameters: the scatterer size and the phonon mean free path.
A Theoretical Framework for Gastric Electrophysiology: Re-framing the Gut-Brain Axis and the Gastric Slow Wave as an Analogue Gravity System
The Gut-Brain Axis (GBA) is a complex, bidirectional communication network intrinsically linking the enteric and central nervous systems. Within this network, the brain and vagus nerve modulate essential gut functions, including the gastric slow wave—a basal 0.05 Hz electrical rhythm generated by pacemaker cells that dictates peristaltic contractions.
