Researchers isolate the protein thought to help migratory birds navigate, and astronomers pinpoint the stars that could view Earth as an exoplanet. https://t.co/PvEhDUUykX
Magnetic Field Effect work featured on @nature cover! Mackenzie, Timmel and Hore groups @OxfordChemistry, in collaboration with @UniOldenburg, demonstrate magnetically sensitive photochemistry in Cry4 protein from the night migratory robin: https://t.co/yT9nS0JPOr
The magnetic sense in night migratory birds, such as the European robin, is based on a specific light-sensitive protein in the eye - the protein cryptochrome 4 could well be the long-sought magnetic sensor. Read more in @Nature https://t.co/s2ywGPwCYU
