1239-Quantum Biology: From Mechanisms to Medicine
Quantum biology explores how subatomic phenomena like coherence, tunnelling, and spin dynamics drive essential life processes that classical physics cannot fully explain. This emerging field reveals that living systems utilize these quantum resources to optimize photosynthetic energy transfer, ensure enzymatic precision, and manage sensory perception like vision and smell. Researchers are now linking quantum disruptions, such as mitochondrial decoherence and proton tunnelling in DNA, to significant health issues including cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. Advanced technologies…
