The QuantumBirds project explores how night-migratory songbirds detect the Earth's magnetic field using quantum phenomena in their eyes. It aims to uncover the mechanisms behind this magnetic sense, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of biological sensing.
The navigational and sensory abilities of night-migratory songbirds, travelling alone over thousands of kilometres, are absolutely staggering.
The successful completion of these magnificent voyages depends crucially on the birds’ ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field.
Exactly how this magnetic sense works is one of the most significant open questions in biology and biophysics.
The experimental evidence suggests something extraordinary.
The birds’ magnetic compass sensor seems to rely on co…
