Researchers discover quantum effects in bird navigation

A new study from the University of Oxford reveals that birds may use quantum entanglement to sense Earth's magnetic field for navigation. The findings, published in Nature, challenge classical explanations of avian migration. This breakthrough opens doors to understanding quantum processes in biology.

Evolution may explain why women outlive men

2. Oktober 2025 Von KI berichtet

A new study suggests that the evolution of menopause plays a key role in women's longer lifespans compared to men. Researchers propose that post-reproductive life in women allows investment in grandchildren, contrasting with men's continued reproduction. This theory draws on data from hunter-gatherer societies and modern populations.

Images show rifampicin's effects on E. coli bacteria

Scientists have captured the first detailed images revealing how the common antibiotic rifampicin disrupts E. coli bacteria at a molecular level. Using advanced cryo-electron tomography, researchers visualized the drug binding to bacterial machinery, halting growth. The findings, published in Nature, offer new insights into antibiotic mechanisms.
