Researchers Klaus Schulten at University Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Ilya Solov'yov, now at the University of Southern Denmark, connect this system to the fascinating ability of many birds, and other flying species, to migrate while sensing the earth's magnetic field. Through simulations, they show that where the bird's cryptochrome compass's <scene name='58/585079/1u3d_magnet/23'>"FAD-trp324 needle"</scene> (shown as a dotted line) is aligned with the line extending between the earth's poles, the entangled electrons will 'on average' spend more time spinning the same direction, and therefore by delaying the electrons return to trp324, FAD will 'on average' be in its signalling mode for longer. | Researchers Klaus Schulten at University Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Ilya Solov'yov, now at the University of Southern Denmark, connect this system to the fascinating ability of many birds, and other flying species, to migrate while sensing the earth's magnetic field.
