Small molecular twists may strengthen nature's magnetic compass

TL;DRScientists found molecular structures that could improve how animals sense Earth's magnetic field.

Why it matters: Understanding biological magnetism could advance navigation tech, animal tracking, and quantum sensing applications.

A collaborative research team led by Yasuhiro Kobori at Kobe University, together with researchers from Toho University, Saitama University, Nagoya Institute of Technology and the University of Freiburg, has identified a potential molecular mechanism that could enhance magnetic…
