Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology For decades, the worlds of biology and physics were kept in separate boxes. Biology was seen as the study of the complex, "wet," and messy systems of life, while quantum physics was the realm of the subatomic, the cold, and the incredibly small. However, a groundbreaking field has emerged that bridges this gap: .

Most biological processes can be explained through classical chemistry and Newtonian physics. But some phenomena—like how birds navigate, how we smell, or how plants turn sunlight into food—happen with an efficiency that classical physics simply cannot explain. Most biological processes can be explained through classical
