Quantum Biology: A New Frontier
As scientists delved deeper into the quantum realm, they unlocked connections with the biological world. What was once confined to physics now pervaded biology, birthing the field of quantum biology. Researchers began examining how quantum mechanics influenced essential life processes, which defy classical explanations.
Remarkably, phenomena such as bird navigation reveal quantum mechanics at play. Recent studies suggest that certain migratory birds might use entangled electrons in their eyes, allowing them to sense Earth’s magnetic field during navigation—a stunning testament to quantum biology intertwining with evolution.
