The radical pair mechanism of magnetoreception
Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this remarkable feat is still unclear. The leading hypothesis centres on radical pairs—magnetically sensitive chemical intermedi...
