To remedy this problem, Chen and his colleagues investigated if there could be entangled photons within this axon-myelin system that could, though the magic of quantum entanglement, communicate instantly across the involved distances.

The “magic”? Eh…

Magic is a phenomenon insufficiently explained by science. Sounds accurate to me.
