Quantum biology

Quantum biology is the study of how tiny particles called quantum particles (like atoms and electrons) interact with living things, like plants and animals. Quantum particles are extremely small, so small that they can behave in weird and wonderful ways. For example, two particles can be connected to each other without sharing any space. This connection is called a quantum entanglement. This means that if something happens to one particle, it can also happen to the other - even if they're far away from each other. Scientists think that these strange quantum behaviors might help plants and animals do amazing things, like orienting themselves or sensing changes in their environment. So far, scientists have found some hints that these things are possible, but there is still much that we don't know.
