Quantum biology, an emerging field that applies quantum mechanics to biological systems, is revealing new insights into life’s most fundamental processes in 2024.
“Quantum mechanics provides us with a framework for understanding life at its most fundamental level, where the laws of the quantum world meet the complexity of biology.”
Kevin Warwick, Professor of CyberneticsJim Al-Khalili, Theoretical Physicist and Author
Quantum biology is an emerging field that seeks to explain biological processes through the principles of quantum mechanics. In 2024, scientists are uncovering how quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, play critical roles in processes like photosynthesis, enzyme function, and even DNA mutation. These discoveries are not just academic; they have profound implications for medicine, potentially leading to new ways of treating diseases at the molecular level. Quantum biology challenges traditional biology by offering a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern life, opening new avenues for research and innovation in the life sciences.
