Fulltext PDFEvidence is shown for the first time that stable, mobile, lattice excitations called quodons can interact with biological materials. Quodons are highly-localised packets of kinetic energy in which a few atoms vibrate at frequencies outside of phonon bands. They propagate at near sonic speed and can transport charge in absence of an externally applied voltage over distances of several meters at room temperature. They arise because of nonlinear interactions of colliding particles in condensed matter. Experiments show that alpha particles of 5.5 MeV can each generate about 50,000 quodons with mean energies of 5 eV, sufficient to influence cellular processes. This was demonstrated by exposing seeds of Vigna radiata to quodons at ambient temperature. It is shown that relativistic protons used for prostate cancer therapy, will create great numbers of quodons as they propagate through flesh to the target organ. The large number of stable quodons are probably the dominant cause of cellular destruction. Experiments show that quodons can propagate for at least 4 cm in flesh. Techniques have been developed for separating quodons from the relativistic particles creating them. This opens the way for reducing or eliminating collateral damage caused by protons. How quodons interact within cells is not yet known but is probably as a result of a transient extreme heat pulse. The equivalent Sievert and Gray units for a known flux of quodons is unknown. We measure the flux in terms of the number of quodons moving in a given direction per second. Since each quodon can carry a unit of charge, the SI unit of a quodon-current is the ampere.
