Hundreds of studies have found that weak magnetic fields can significantly influence various
biological systems. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena remain …

The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the
direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this …

The nature of consciousness, the mechanism by which it occurs in the brain, and its ultimate
place in the universe are unknown. We proposed in the mid 1990's that consciousness …

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

The first law of thermodynamics imposes not just a constraint on the energy content of
systems in extreme quantum regimes but also symmetry constraints related to the …

Recent evidence suggests that a variety of organisms may harness some of the unique
features of quantum mechanics to gain a biological advantage. These features go beyond …

Quantum biology is an emerging field of research that concerns itself with the experimental
and theoretical exploration of non-trivial quantum phenomena in biological systems. In this …

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect was recently established experimentally and
theoretically. Here, we review some of the new findings and discuss applications that can …

Quantum biology is usually considered to be a new discipline, arising from recent research
that suggests that biological phenomena such as photosynthesis, enzyme catalysis, avian …
