Electron spin relaxation can enhance the performance of a cryptochrome-based magnetic compass sensor
New Journal of Physics, 2016 The radical pair model of the avian magnetoreceptor relies on long-lived electron spin coherence. Dephasing, resulting from interactions of the spins with their fluctuating environment, is generally assumed to degrade the sensitivity of this compass to ...

Waved albatrosses can navigate with strong magnets attached to their head [PDF]
, 2003 The foraging excursions of waved albatrosses Phoebastria irrorata during incubation are ideally suited for navigational studies because they navigate between their Galápagos breeding site and one specific foraging site in the upwelling zone of Peru along

Are there optical communication channels in the brain?
, 2017 Despite great progress in neuroscience, there are still fundamental unanswered questions about the brain, including the origin of subjective experience and consciousness. Some answers might rely on new physical mechanisms. Given that biophotons have been

Literature review: magnetic orientation of migratory birds [PDF]
, 2019 [Resumen]: Este trabajo pretende agrupar información sobre el sistema de orientación mediante compás magnético en aves migratorias. A pesar de que este sistema de orientación no es el único del que disponen las aves, sí es una fuente omnipresente de ...

Evidence that fin whales respond to the geomagnetic field during migration [PDF]
, 1992 We challenge the hypothesis that fin whales use a magnetic sense to guide migration by testing for associations between geophysical parameters and the positions where fin whales were observed over the continental shelf off the northeastern United States.

Transduction of the Geomagnetic Field as Evidenced from Alpha-band Activity in the Human Brain [PDF]
, 2019 Magnetoreception, the perception of the geomagnetic field, is a sensory modality well-established across all major groups of vertebrates and some invertebrates, but its presence in humans has been tested rarely, yielding inconclusive results.
