"The greatest stride in biology in our century was its shift to the molecular dimension. The next will be its shift towards the submolecular, electronic dimension." - Albert Szent-Györgyi, Nobel laureate, "Bioelectronics" (1968)

In his work Szent-Györgyi shared a discovery that there are many types of ice in our body, which may come as a surprise to some. To date, more than twenty types of ice made solely from water are known. Although all of these ices are made from pure water, they are different types. But why do we need so many different types of ice in our body and how does it help?

Concepts used in the episode:
"Excited electronic states" - refer to higher-energy configurations of electrons in molecules. In the context provided, these excited states are crucial for storing and transferring quantized energy within the body, which is an important process in various biochemical reactions and cellular functions.


"Quantized energy" - refers to energy that comes in discrete, specific amounts or levels. In other words, it's not continuous but rather exists in distinct "packets" or "quanta." This concept is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics, where energy levels are restricted to certain discrete values, and it has significant implications for understanding the behavior of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles.


An "electron plasma in a gas discharge" is a state where a significant number of electrons in a gas have been freed from their atoms, creating a high concentration of free electrons. Examples include gas discharge tubes, such as neon signs or fluorescent lamps.


"Atom spin" - is a fundamental property of an atom's nucleus and electrons, which causes them to act like tiny magnets with an associated magnetic moment. This spin is a quantum mechanical property and can have two values: "up" or "down." It's a key factor in determining an atom's behavior in magnetic fields and is essential for understanding the structure of matter.


"Mass dipoles" - refer to cell membranes, which are made up of large molecules. These molecules, when subjected to an external force or field, can exhibit a kind of "dipole moment" due to their mass distribution. In the context of certain resonators their mass dipoles play a role in the resonant response of the system.


"Serpinsky carpet"-  a famous fractal shape that's generated through a recursive process. It starts with a square, and then smaller squares are removed from it, typically in a self-replicating pattern. It's a classic example of a self-replicating, infinitely detailed geometric structure in mathematics.


A "power law" is a mathematical relationship that describes a specific type of distribution where one quantity is proportional to a power of another. In the context of fractals, power laws often describe the scaling behavior, where, for example, the size of patterns at different scales follows a power-law relationship.
