Ferritin Spin Lattices: Engineering Magnetically Coherent Living Tissues as Spin-Wave Logic Substrates for Biohybrid Information Processing

Ferritin Spin Lattices: Engineering Magnetically Coherent Living Tissues as Spin-Wave Logic Substrates for Biohybrid Information Processing

Biological tissues can host dense, ordered protein assemblies, self-heal, and maintain ionic homeostasis—capabilities that rigid inorganic substrates for magnonics lack. Could we engineer living or living-derived materials to become substrates for spin-wave (magnon) logic? This article proposes ferritin-based spin lattices—protein nanocage arrays loaded with magnetic cores—and magnetosome-inspired
