How to Watch the Electron Dance in Living Cells ⚡ экспресс
Original: "A fluorescence microscopy platform for time-resolved studies of spin-correlated radical pairs in biological systems"
Laser pulses have made it possible to 'film' the invisible magnetic dance inside living cells for the first time.

Electrons in cells act like paired magnets. Their dance shifts with a weak magnetic field, but the particles’ own invisibility made it hard to see. Scientists used laser flashes—like food for invisible fish—to illuminate the reaction. Now we can film this quantum dance directly.
🎯 Migratory birds use this same mechanism: their eyes capture the electron dance, turning Earth's magnetic field into visual cues.
