Quantum effects on biology
Have you ever wondered why the process of photosynthesis is so efficient, utilizing nearly 100% of the energy is absorbed to create organic compounds? Or how you can see and smell things? Or why your immune system is able to run so smoothly and efficiently? Quantum phenomena play a key role in biological processes, and is crucial to understanding how life functions.
About Me
I have been interested in biology since I was a child, curious by the endless wonders that the living system holds. On the other hand, the mind-boggling concepts of quantum mechanics has also fascinated me. This emerging field of science combines both seemingly separate fields of science, aligning perfectly with my interests, hence why I chose this topic.
