Homeothermic Immunothermodynamics versus Cryogenic Superconductivity: Febrile Leukocyte Activation (37 C-40 C), Intracellular Ice-Ih Membrane Rupture and Hypothermic Ventricular Fibrillation (< 30 C), Targeted Temperature Management (TTM), and Non-Equilibrium Vibronic Life

A profound thermodynamic dichotomy separates inanimate solid-state quantum matter from living biological organisms. Whereas metallic and cuprate superconductors require deep cryogenic cooling in liquid nitrogen (T_LN2 = 77 K = -196 C) or liquid helium (T_LHe = 4.2 K = -269 C; 15...
