Biological Transmutation (Biotransmutation)

Biological transmutation, or biotransmutation, is the claim that living systems — in this dossier, growing microbiological cultures — can transform one chemical element or isotope into another through low-energy nuclear reactions. The claim is a branch of low-energy-nuclear-reactions and is conceptually related to the historical low-energy-transmutation-of-elements research of the early 20th century.

The claim in this source

The Vysotskii–Kornilova dossier asserts that during the growth and metabolism of microbiological cultures, nuclear reactions occur that transmute isotopes. Two categories are named:

  • Stable-isotope transmutation — for example, Mn55 + d = Fe57, Na23 + p31 = Fe54, and Cs133 + p = Ba134, as listed in the 2022 Vid. Proc. Adv. Mater. report.
  • Accelerated deactivation of radioactive isotopes — chiefly Cs137 + p = Ba138, converting radioactive Cs-137 to stable Ba-138.

The source states that transmutation in microbiological associations is 20× more effective than in pure ("one-line") cultures, and that the Cs-137 → Ba-138 reaction is accelerated 35× (2000–2015) and later 103× (2016–2021) relative to natural decay. See Accelerated Radionuclide Deactivation for the reported numbers and their inconsistencies.

Proposed mechanism

The 2022 report attributes the effect to coherent correlated states of interacting nuclear isotopes, with giant energy fluctuations generated in non-stationary potential biological nano-wells. See Coherent Correlated States of Interacting Nuclei.

Lineage

The dossier's related links point to the source page on Louis Kervran, whose mid-20th-century claims of biological transmutation (for example, that hens convert potassium to calcium) are the conceptual ancestor of this line of work. The source does not develop the connection in detail.

Evidence status

The dossier is a self-collected archive of the claimants' own publications, patents and interviews, plus two third-party commentary pieces (Biberian's Current Science review and Schapiro's article). No independent replication is reported. The Cs/Sr joint-transmutation paper records a control-contamination caveat that complicates attribution of the observed effect. See Biological Transmutation Claims vs. Evidence: Acceleration Factors, Control Contamination and the Absence of Replication.

Accelerated Radionuclide Deactivation

Accelerated radionuclide deactivation is the applied claim of the Vysotskii–Kornilova dossier: that growing microbiological cultures can reduce the radioactivity of radionuclide solutions — chiefly Cs-137 — faster than natural radioactive decay, by transmuting the radioactive isotope to a stable one. The named reaction is Cs137

Coherent Correlated States of Interacting Nuclei

Coherent correlated states of interacting nuclei are the proposed physical mechanism by which the Vysotskii–Kornilova dossier claims nuclear reactions occur in growing biological systems. The mechanism is a theoretical justification offered in the 2022 Vid. Proc. Adv. Mater. report; it is not an experimentally isolated mechanism

Microbe Syntrophic Associations (MSA)

Microbe syntrophic associations (MSA) are cooperative microbial consortia — mixtures of microorganisms living together — as defined in the Vysotskii–Kornilova dossier. The term is central to the claimants' mechanism and to their reported results.
