BENDING SPACE. "Working with collaborator Sir John Pendry (Imperial College, London), the Duke team has developed the technique of Transformation Optics, in which bending space with coordinate transformations is used as an intuitive means of creating unique devices." https://lnkd.in/e_29NSG View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS our section on structured water, the provocative, interesting, and at times controversial, topic that courageously addresses the fact that water is not simply a solvent for living things. View in LinkedIn

TUMOR WATER. "The water content values from squamous cell carcinoma measurements were significantly higher than from surrounding healthy tissue (p-value < 0.0001). Tumor tissue could be detected with a sensitivity of 99% and a specificity of 92% using a cutoff water content value of 69%." https://lnkd.in/en8N892 View in LinkedIn

50 PICOSECONDS. "The gap achieved by Fridman and his colleagues was extremely small—just 50 picoseconds, or 50 trillionths of a second, in duration. The researchers note that it is possible to extend the gap somewhat, but that scattering and dispersion effects limit the scope of the temporal cloak to a few nanoseconds." https://lnkd.in/e-T4EeU View in LinkedIn

TUMOR WATER. "High-wavenumber Raman spectroscopy is a reliable technique to determine the water content of tissues, which may contribute to differentiate between tumor and healthy tissue." https://lnkd.in/en8N892 View in LinkedIn

FIRST TIME CLOAK. "The team’s device used a technique called “temporal cloaking,” which can essentially tear small holes in space/time by manipulating a beam of light (photons carry information that can help the event be seen by the human eye) with more light using laser pulsars — cancelling light waves out, ultimately cloaking an event from sight as if it never occurred." 2011, Fridma at Cornell, 50 trillionth of a second. https://lnkd.in/euiFq_x View in LinkedIn

RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY in cancer tissue. "The marked red-shift of the maximum peak position of the OH stretching mode confirms that the vibrational properties of the interfacial water observed in restricted biological environment differ drastically from those in bulk water." https://lnkd.in/eK4Reve View in LinkedIn

VARIABLE TIME. "There are many physicists who truly believe that time is merely the numerical order of change instead of it being an integral part of the space/time continuum (the 3 dimensions of length, width, and height, with time being a separate entity)." https://lnkd.in/euiFq_x View in LinkedIn

CANCEROUS TISSUE. "The interfacial water in DNA and lipids is represented by a double band in the region of the OH stretching mode of water corresponding to the symmetric and asymmetric vibrational modes, in contrast to water confined in the cancerous breast tissue where only one band at 3311 cm–1 has been recorded." https://lnkd.in/eK4Reve View in LinkedIn

59 PICOSECOND CLOAK. "illustrate the temporal cloaking process...Optical signals with and without the temporal gap...By tuning the parameters of the LCFG and phase modulator, a temporal gap with the width of 59 ps is opened." https://lnkd.in/eztPSPd View in LinkedIn
