Approaching magnetic field effects in biology using the radical pair mechanism
… biology (see Chapter 1 for examples) using the radical pair mechanism, a quantum mechanical mechanism known for over 20 years that lets the yields of certain radical pair reactions depend on the applied magnetic field [1, 2, 3]. This goal seems reasonable considering the known roles of many …

Quantum Coherence and Entanglement in Open Quantum Systems
… examples in these aspects. However, the mechanisms underlying them are still unknown. For decades, scientists and researchers have made a lot of efforts to reveal these mysteries in nature.</p> <p>Recently, quantum coherence and entanglement are believed to play a crucial role in such …

The Mouse Magnetic Compass
… information. There is evidence for two different mechanisms used to sense the magnetic field, the radical pair mechanism (RPM) and the magnetite based mechanism (MBM). C57BL/6 laboratory mice can rely on directional information from the magnetic field to position their nests and to solve a water …

Magnetic Tools for Neural Interfacing
… magnetic field. We explore if its underlying radical pair mechanism could be used for magnetic neurostimulation. The second project employs magnetic nanotransducers for neurostimulation. These functionalized, biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles translate magnetic fields to heat or mechanical …

Behavioral Investigation of the Light-Dependent Magnetoreception Mechanism of Drosophila melanogaster
… and is proposed to involve a photo-induced radical pair mechanism (RPM). My dissertation research consisted of characterizing a magnetic compass in a model species, Drosophila melanogaster. Preliminary experiments were carried out with adult flies, however, due to the behavioral complexity …

Spontaneous directional preferences in taxonomically and ecologically distinct organisms: examining cues and underlying mechanisms
… radio frequency fields, consistent with a mechanism involving a light-dependent radical pair mechanism. Findings from the turtle experiments also suggest that the Earth's magnetic field plays an important role in encoding spatial information in novel surroundings, and may help to organize …
