Chinese researchers claim detection of quantum effects in living cells

From laboratories in China comes a claim that quietly unsettles one of biology's long-held assumptions: that the strange, probabilistic world of quantum mechanics is too delicate to survive inside a living cell. A research team reports detecting quantum mechanical states within active biological tissue, suggesting that life may be conducting its most intimate business at the subatomic level. If confirmed through peer review and independent replication, the finding would lend new weight to the young field of quantum biology and invite a fundamental rethinking of how cells — and perhaps life its
