calcite crystals in the cochlea magic ear snail

Ears hear like microphones using calcite crystals in the cochlea in the inner ear. Then, the acoustic pressure is transformed to information your brain can read out! Truly we know little about the exact structure of the cochlea, as it is extremely hard to isolate. In vivo the pressure is calibrated very precisely. There is […]

Piezoelectricity in the Pineal Gland: Bio-Crystal Studies Explained

Crystals, in the body, piezoelectricity / , , , , , , /

What would it mean if there was piezoelectricity in the pineal gland? It would mean ambient electromagnetic fields could affect our circadian rhythms. When pressure is applied to piezoelectric crystals, they conduct electricity. The piezoelectric effect is reversible too, so in presence of electric current the crystal will deform on small scales. The pineal gland
