Can quantum science supercharge genetics?
Quantum biology examines quantum effects inside cells. This is a tricky field, as physicists are not comfortable working with messy biological systems, while biologists are not comfortable with complex (and seemingly irrelevant) particle physics equations. But chemists, who straddle the space between physics and biology, know that biological molecules are part of the quantum world. […]
