Physicists have watched a chain of 15 amino acids interfere with itself, in an experiment that paves the way for a new era of quantum biology.

The article you cited also mentioned that fullerenes had also generated interference patterns in 1999.  

I do not understand how this experiment will lead to a new era in quantum biology.  Could you please give us your perspective on their findings.

Neither do I (understand quantum biology), I'm just the messenger. I was hoping a discussion, here on this forum, would reveal what it's about, and its possible applications.

But I find evidence of "macro" duality fascinating, because it breaks the boundaries we thought it had. It's not only a quantum phenomenon as we originally assumed. And that is worthy of being "breaking news" IMHO. But it's not treated so.

Fullerenes are simple carbon molecules. This is a step further.
