| Abstract: | The article discusses Migrating birds, which use celestial cues to navigate and also detect the magnetic field generated by Earth's molten core and use it to determine their position and direction. In the study on magnetoreception in birds, scientists have been able to find that a bird's compass relies on subtle and fundamentally quantum effects in short-lived molecular fragments known as radical pairs formed photochemically in its eyes. |
