1/3 A photon hits a molecule, and two electrons spin apart into a shared quantum state. For microseconds, that spin pair stays coherent — at room temperature, in ordinary solvent. Its fate depends on the magnetic field around it. #academicsky #quantumbio #philsci

1/3 Quantum effects usually need near-absolute-zero cold. Yet some marine algae appear to use quantum-coherent energy transfer at room temperature. How does a warm, wet cell keep that wave alive? #academicsky #quantumbio #philsci

1/3 Quantum coherence is fragile — a whisper that dies in noise. Yet some argue life harnesses it. New "quantum coherence microscopes" now image coherence atom-by-atom. Could they settle the quantum biology debate? #quantumbio #scicomm
