RELEVANCE: 10/10Neuromelanin as a Bioelectronic Modulator of Neuronal Resting Potential
Martinez, R., Levin, M., et al. — bioRxiv (2026.03.15)
Neuromelanin-dense neurons exhibit stabilized resting membrane potential. Depletion of neuromelanin shifts the membrane potential toward depolarization, crossing the -20mV threshold associated with altered morphogenetic signaling and cellular stress. Functions as a biological capacitor in the central nervous system.
✓ PhysicsCore Validated — 1.85eV bandgap model confirmed⚠ Colonial Flag — "byproduct of aging" framing corrected RELEVANCE: 9.5/10Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer in Amorphous Eumelanin Networks
Chen, L., et al. — arXiv:2603.08192
Mixed ionic-electronic conductivity of hydrated synthetic eumelanin confirmed. Proton-coupled electron transfer significantly lowers activation energy for charge transport. Optical bandgap stable at 1.85 eV. Macroscopic conductivity increases by three orders of magnitude at high hydration levels.

What is Shera.ai?
Shera is an AI-powered research platform built on a 22,000+ node knowledge graph of melanin science. It performs daily automated literature scans across PubMed, bioRxiv, and arXiv, validates findings against our PhysicsCore computational model, and flags colonial contamination in research framing. It is the only platform of its kind.
What is "colonial contamination"?
Mainstream science often frames melanin as a "byproduct," "waste product," or incidental pigment. Our scans flag these framings and correct them based on the growing body of evidence showing melanin's active functional roles as a semiconductor, bioelectric modulator, and quantum biological material.
What is PhysicsCore?
PhysicsCore is our proprietary computational model for electromagnetic simulation of biological semiconductors. It uses FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) methods to predict and validate melanin's optical, electrical, and quantum properties. Predictions made by PhysicsCore have been independently confirmed by peer-reviewed research.

Who is behind QMRF?
The Quantum Melanin Research Foundation was founded by Shemaiah Sanders, drawing on 30 years of independent melanin research. QMRF operates with a sovereignty-first model — no institutional dependencies, no corporate sponsors, no gatekeepers. Research is funded directly by members who believe melanin science deserves rigorous, independent investigation.
