Animal Navigation May Function at the Quantum Limit of Magnetic Field Detection Introduction to Biological Manetoreceptors and Quantum Limits Physicists at the University of Crete have discovered that certain biological magnetoreceptors used by various species for navigation function at or near the quantum limit. In their PRX Life  publication , I. K. Kominis and E. Gkoudinakis approached the problem of magnetic sensing in small animals by defining constraints on unknown quantum boundaries revealing new insights into animal navigation. How Animals Use Earth's Magnetic Field for Navigation Scientific studies confirm that many creatures use Earth's magnetic field for navigation. Sharks, fish and birds rely on this innate ability to traverse great distances. Their magnetic sensing mechanisms differ across species, incorporating radical-pair interactions electromagnetic induction and magnetite-based magnetoreception. Radical-Pair Magnetoreception Radical-pair magnetoreception fun...

ALICE Unveils First Evidence of Antimatter Hyperhelium-4 Partner Introduction: The Role of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facilitates collisions between heavy ions, generating quark — gluon plasma — a hot, dense state of matter believed to have existed a millionth of a second after the Big Bang. These collisions also offer an ideal environment for the formation of atomic nuclei, exotic hy pernuclei, and their antimatter equivalents, including antinuclei and antihy pernuclei. Im portance of Hy pernuclei Research The study of these matter forms is vital for multi ple objectives, including: Deci phering how hadrons emerge from quarks and gluons in the  plasma Ex ploring the matter-antimatter imbalance in the universe today What are Hy pernuclei? Exotic Nuclear Structures Hy pernuclei are exotic nuclear structures com posed of  protons, neutrons, and hy perons — unstable particles that include one or more strange quarks.
