title: Superconductivity--a possible mechanism for non-thermal biological effects of microwaves.
abstract: Recent evidence for high temperature superconductivity in lipids and in a protein and for a role for superconductivity in growth and nerve processes, combined with experimental demonstration of microwave effects on probable superconductive tunneling in carbon films at room temperature, suggest the possibility that non-thermal effects of microwaves on biological systems may occur by a superconductive mechanism.
