Introducing electromagnetic information transfer through aqueous system (Abstract)

Alberto Foletti, M.D. obtained his degree in Medicine and Surgery, Magna Cum Laude, from Milan State University, Italy in 1988; he then obtained his specialization diploma in General Surgery, Magna Cum Laude, from Milan State University, Italy in 1993. He got a Master degree, Magna Cum Laude, in Neuro Psycho Physical Optimization and CRM therapy, from Florence State University, Italy, in 2008. He started his career working as surgeon at Piacenza public Hospital from 1991 until 1998. From 1998 onwards, he has been working in the field of biophysical treatments for therapy and prevention as an independent researcher. In 2008 He moved to Switzerland, where he founded and became scientific director of the Clinical Biophysics International Research Group, Lugano, Switzerland. He has been a research associate of the Department of Innovative technologies, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, Manno, Switzerland from October 2011 to September 2013. From January 2012 he has been a research associate of the Institute of Translational Pharmacology, National Research Council-CNR, Rome, Italy. His research mandate specifically related to the study and the evaluation of low frequencies and low intensity electromagnetic fields as a possible pharmacological therapy. He started and chaired a series of International Symposia titled: Biophysical Aspects of Complexity in Health and Disease, held in Milan, Italy 2010, Lugano, Switzerland 2012, Lugano, Switzerland 2014, Lugano, Switzerland 2016, Milan, Italy 2018. He is also author of many peer-reviewed papers and contributor to international conferences in the field of biophysics.

What we can learn about water from vibrational spectroscopy (Abstract)

Antonella De Ninno received the degrees in Physics from the University “La Sapienza” of Rome in 1984. Since 1987 she is researcher at the ENEA research centre in Frascati, near Rome. Her experience ranges from solid state to nuclear physics. She is author of more than 80 research items (papers, chapters, conference papers and patents). She serves as reviewer in many international journals and has been tutor of several undergraduate and graduate thesis and fellowship.

Her initial interests were in solid state physics and, in particular in low temperature effects on materials and superconductivity.
In 1999-2002 she coordinated the ENEA Project “New Hydrogen Energy” on the nuclear properties of deuterium stored in solid lattices. The project was supervised by the Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia, former President of ENEA.

The collaboration with two important Italian theoretical physicists, Giuliano Preparata and Emilio Del Giudice, started during the “New Hydrogen Energy” project, moves her towards the concept of quantum electrodynamics (QED) coherence in condensed matter. Such a theory allows an original approach to the supra-molecular structure of liquid water and its peculiar role in biology. Since then she worked on several experimental layout (FTIR, X-ray fluorescence, THz spectroscopy) with the aim to prove the two-fluids nature of liquid water. She is also interested in the effect of ions in the structural order of water. QED also provides an insight in physical mechanism of interaction between extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields and living systems. She is involved in research projects intended to detect such interactions as expected from the theory even in the perspective of practical applications.

DireWaves: Disarming resistant microbes with resonant waves (Abstract)

Water Bridging Initiative – from descaling drinking water to disarming resistant microbes to liquid crystal properties (Poster Abstract)

Dr. Blom has a Master’s degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics. He pioneered machine learning methods in biology and metagenomics studies from the deep polar oceans. He recently turned his attention towards the role of water and electromagnetic fields in biology and acquired the prestigious VILLUM experiment grant to study the effects of electromagnetic fields on antibiotic-resistant microbes.
