    "inventor_name": "Y. V. Tszyan KANCHZHEN",
    "publication_year": 2007,
    "device_name": "Biotron",
    "goal": "To transmit hereditary and biological information between living organisms using high-frequency electromagnetic waves, thereby inducing desired phenotypic changes and rejuvenation.",
    "problem_addressed": "Inability to directly transfer genetic or biological information between organisms and to reverse age-related decline.",
    "concept_summary": "The Biotron system consists of a hollow polyhedral cavity with attached cones that house a biological donor object. High-frequency microwave radiation (~11 GHz) excites a torsion field in the donor, which is amplified by the topological shape of the enclosure and directed to a receiver enclosure containing a target organism. The claimed effect is that the target acquires genetic or phenotypic traits of the donor, leading to enhanced growth, altered morphology, and rejuvenation.",
