CANCER. "Water in cancerous breast tissue is markedly different from that in normal tissue, in having more water plus a greater concentration of free hydroxyl groups." https://lnkd.in/e4G7JTS 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

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

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

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

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

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

TRANSFORMATION OPTICS. "The now well-known “invisibility cloak” was the first example of a transformation optical device, first suggested by Pendry and the Duke team in 2006." https://lnkd.in/e_29NSG View in LinkedIn

TEMPORAL CLOAK. "A paper was published providing a way not only to cloak objects spatially but also temporally thus, in essence, removing an event from time. This was no longer simply a spatial cloak like the others mentioned but a space-time cloak, cloaking both in spatial dimensions and in the temporal dimension." (Martin McCall, 2011). https://lnkd.in/eeyVgrp View in LinkedIn

SPACETIME. "The great John Archibald Wheeler had a ready description for how all of this fits together. "Spacetime tells matter how to move...matter tells spacetime how to curve." https://lnkd.in/eBtrMVG View in LinkedIn
