Science
Birds using quantum entanglement, plants utilising quantum coherence, cells harnessing quantum tunneling - biologists are having to face, for the first time, the effects of the subatomic world on their field.
Your hosts Lily and Gordon chat to Professor Jim Al-Khalili - quantum physics professor, broadcaster, and winner of the Stephen Hawking Medal - about the emerging field of quantum biology and what it might mean for our understanding of evolution, the future of renewable energy, and whether it can be harnessed.
