One particular modality of this sense, a magnetic inclination compass, is thought to rely on magnetically sensitive radical pairs formed photochemically in cryptochrome proteins in the animal&#8217;s retinae. This process is a striking example of a truly quantum mechanical process in sensory biology. It necessitates long-lived electron spin coherences in the radical pair.<\/p>\n<p>An important requirement of this hypothesis is that the electron spin relaxation is slow enough for the Earth\u2019s magnetic field to have a significant effect on the coherent spin dynamics of the transient radical pair. This proposal aims to elucidate spin relaxation pathways based on a comprehensive analysis of the thermally induced motions in the radicals and their surroundings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal Investigator: Ilia Solov\u00b4yov Faculty of Science &#8211; Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy (FKF) &#8211; SDU<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3054,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[175,172,173,171,170,174],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3036"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3036"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3036\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5007,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3036\/revisions\/5007"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/escience.sdu.dk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
