Quantum Control and Entanglement in a Chemical Compass
ABSTRACT
The radical-pair mechanism is one of the two main hypotheses to explain the navigability of animals in weak magnetic fields, enabling, e.g., birds to see Earth’s magnetic field. It also plays an essential role in spin chemistry. Here, we show how quantum control can be used to either enhance or reduce the performance of such a chemical compass, providing a new route to further study the radical-pair mechanism and its applications. We study the role of radical-pair entanglement in this mechanism, and demonstrate its intriguing connections with the magnetic-field sensitivity of the compass. Beyond their immediate application to the radical-pair mechanism, these results also demonstrate how state-of-the-art quantum technologies could potentially be used to probe and control biological functions.

This not about earthquake directly but cool to know.
I find it hard to believe that a bison would be able to detect earthquakes in advance.
We know of the two types of waves that an earthquake is made of - and they both are sent out as the earthquake happens. There is nothing that we know of that happens in advance of an earthquake that could be detected.
Besides, how would such a odd sense evolve?

I don't know about the bison but people have been trying to prove if that was true or not for a long time

If it is not CGI is this normal behavior? I remember reading about how animals were panicking before the tsunami in 2005.
Maybe it is nothing special.

I must admit, the bison shadows do not look real. They are a bit too dark for what it seems like a gloomy day. The trees do not have shades under them and yet those bisons have dark shadows. At one point, a bison was very close to a yellow pole on the left, the yellow pole did not cast a shadow and yet the bison did.
Yellow Stone is suppose to be where the next super volcanoe explodes, according to the latest science news where about to have a supernova explosion near us in the next 50 years.
I think this is the original video of the bisons:

I personally believe this is a well made fake of a CGI herd of bison. Maybe for some viral marketing campaign for a movie, TV show. The shadows, the way they feel "light" when moving, the red shadow-less pole. But I could be wrong of course.
Still a nice way to put us in perspective reminding us who is really in charge on the very large scale if that thing blows one day.
