Magnetobiology
Magnetobiology is the study of how magnetic fields affect biological systems. This field explores the interactions between living organisms and magnetic forces, examining how these forces can influence cellular processes, growth, and behavior. Researchers investigate the potential effects of both natural and artificial magnetic fields on various life forms, including plants, animals, and humans.
One area of interest in magnetobiology is the role of Earth's magnetic field in animal navigation. Many species, such as birds and sea turtles, are believed to use magnetic cues to find their way during migration. Understanding these mechanisms can provide insights into the broader implications of magnetism in biology.
