Birds seem to use a light-dependent, radical-pair-based magnetic compass. In vertebrates,
cryptochromes are the only class of proteins that form radical pairs upon photo-excitation …

Summary Like many birds [1], numerous species of nocturnal moths undertake spectacular

fulfilling two fundamental functions. While photolyases repair UV-induced DNA damages …

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cables are used to transport power between
locations and from/to nearshore and offshore facilities. HVDC cables produce magnetic …

Abstract In the North Sea, the number and size of offshore wind (OW) turbines, together with
the associated network of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) subsea cables, will increase …
