đŠ Could quantum physics help explain how birds find their way across thousands of miles?
Scientists have developed a new mathematical framework for controlling the quantum behavior of radical pairsâa process that could help researchers test one of the leading hypotheses behind how migratory birds sense Earth's magnetic field. đŹđ§Č
The research does not prove that birds navigate using quantum effects. But it could provide an important path toward laboratory experiments designed to test that possibility, using more realistic magnetic fields that came within 1% of the modeled optimum.
The mystery of bird migration isn't solved yetâbut scientists may now have a new way to investigate it. đŠđ
