Abstract
Generalization by this author of Einstein's theory of Brownian motion has revealed that the first and second laws of thermodynamics require the electrification of surfaces, membranes, and other interfaces. This interesting result explains numerous phenomena, including capillarity, adhesion, atmospheric electricity, coalescence of drops, to mention a few examples. Accordingly, upon phase change, healing of tissue, and growth of cancer cells, the flow of electric current is a thermodynamically required phenomenon.
