Alterations of charges density on membranes (potentials) of plant cells by ion currents lead to disbalance of Coulomb forces compressing membranes and counteracting Hookean elastic forces. It should results in membrane vibrations till establishment new equilibrium with generation of ultrasound and electromagnetic radiations. Such vibrations lead to acoustical flows, power of which is sufficient for water lift in trees, its degassing, for cycloses and some electric phenomena in plants and so on. This phenomenon explains the known observations of ultrasound noises in trees and redistribution of particles in the phloem flow. Known supervisions and consideration of anatomy of plants result in estimations of frequencies of the order of 150-200 kHz for acoustical flows in xilem and three times bigger in phloem. The checking of offered mechanism can be carrying out via investigation of acoustic and electromagnetic radiation of plants.

We investigate the dynamics of water confined in soft ionic nano-assemblies, an issue critical for a general understanding of the multi-scale structure-function interplay in advanced materials. We focus in particular on hydrated perfluoro-sulfonic ac
In growing plant cells, parallel ordering of microtubules (MTs) along the inner surface of the cell membrane influences the direction of cell expansion and thereby plant morphology. For correct expansion of organs that primarily grow by elongating, s
Ultrasound detection is one of the most important nondestructive subsurface characterization tools of materials, whose goal is to laterally resolve the subsurface structure with nanometer or even atomic resolution. In recent years, graphene resonator
We consider two dielectric membranes suspended inside a Fabry-Perot-cavity, which are cooled to a steady state via a drive by suitable classical lasers. We show that the vibrations of the membranes can be entangled in this steady state. They thus for
Quantum biology is an emerging field of research that concerns itself with the experimental and theoretical exploration of non-trivial quantum phenomena in biological systems. In this tutorial overview we aim to bring out fundamental assumptions and
