- Description
- DARPA-SN-17-01 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is requesting information on the state-of-the-art in experimentally observing, modeling and understanding communication between biosystems exploiting electromagnetic (EM) waves from low frequencies (kHz) to high frequencies (THz). As used in this RFI, "biosystems" is all-inclusive-from bacteria to primates-and can involve EM exchanges between similar or dissimilar systems. This interest, therefore, includes EM wave exchanges associated with DNA, intra- and inter-cell transmissions as well as their role in large arrays (films or volumes) of cells. Mechanisms for emission, modulation and detection-whether described by classical or quantum processes-are relevant. Information related to the following questions is of value: 1. What are the roles of EM waves in biosystems? 2. What information is carried by EM waves between cells? 3. How do weak fields influence cells? See DARPA-SN-17-01.
