ENZYMES. "There is a strange occurrence, similar to the ‘memory of water’, in enzyme chemistry where an effectively non-existent material still has a major effect; enzymes prepared in buffers of known pH retain (remember) those specific pH-dependent kinetic properties even when the water is removed such that no hydrogen ions are present." https://lnkd.in/ejqzhbQ View in LinkedIn

HYDROGEN BONDS. "Water does store and transmit information concerning solutes, by means of its hydrogen-bonded network. Changes to this cluster network brought about by solutes may take some time to re-equilibrate." https://lnkd.in/ejqzhbQ View in LinkedIn

WATER MEMORY VIDEO. Aerospace Institute in Stuttgart visualizes water droplets after various treatments, in an attempt to demonstrate water memory. This video has unleashed a great deal of critical commentary, fairly, because methods or publications are not available to support the findings. But, remember the baby and the bathwater. https://lnkd.in/etmfXmE View in LinkedIn

OPTICAL TWEEZERS. "In the past decades, great efforts have been devoted to manipulate microparticles and even living cells under contactless conditions. Many different techniques have been proposed, such as optical tweezers and dielectrophoresis." https://lnkd.in/exRnhQ8 View in LinkedIn

MEASURING FORCES ON SINGLE MOLECULES. "Optical tweezers instruments can be used to precisely measure piconewton forces and nanometer position changes; we can measure the properties of a single molecule, thus avoiding the configurational averaging that always takes place in a bulk experiment." https://lnkd.in/eSrxrde View in LinkedIn

"MOLECULAR MOTORS acting on single DNA molecules. RNA polymerases are molecular motors because they use energy to create motion and generate forces in the cell. The forces generated by this motor and the forces required to stall the motor have been directly measured using optical tweezers instruments." https://lnkd.in/eSrxrde View in LinkedIn

AIRY BEAMS. "Conventional microparticle transports by light or sound are realized along a straight line. Recently, this limit has been overcome in optics as the growing up of the self-accelerating Airy beams, which are featured by many peculiar properties, e.g., bending propagation, diffraction-free and self-healing." https://lnkd.in/exRnhQ8 View in LinkedIn

AIRY INVARIANT. "What sets the Airy wave apart from any other known solution is its very ability to freely accelerate during propagation—even in the absence of any external potential. In one-dimension, the Airy wave is the only non-trivial localized wavefunction that remains invariant with time." https://lnkd.in/exB5jnp View in LinkedIn

NEW CONCEPT. "Interestingly, the possibility of realizing this intriguing class of beams in optics was only recently considered." https://lnkd.in/exB5jnp View in LinkedIn

SINGULAR BEAMS. "For decades, singular beams carrying angular momentum have been a topic of considerable interest. Their intriguing applications are ubiquitous in a variety of fields, ranging from optical manipulation to photon entanglement, and from microscopy and coronagraphy to free-space communications, detection of rotating black holes, and even relativistic electrons and strong-field physics." https://lnkd.in/egDgpRF View in LinkedIn
