    Dear friends and colleagues,

    We are delighted to extend an invitation to the first aquaphotomics webinar of 2024! Join us as we host the distinguished Professor, Dr. Livio Giuliani, a renowned scientist in the field of water science.

    Prof. Giuliani, having earned his doctorate cum laude in 1974 from Sapienza University of Rome’s Institute of Mathematics, brings a wealth of experience. Over the years, he held key roles, including Senior Researcher at ISPESL/INAIL (Italian Ministry of Health) and Chief of the Radiation and Ultrasounds Environmental Pollution Lab (1998-2014). Prof. Giuliani played a pivotal role in formulating exposure limits to electromagnetic fields (EMF), with his “ISPESL Proposal” adopted by the Italian Government in 1998 and now followed by 10 other countries in Europe. As a co-founder and spokesman of the International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety (ICEMS, www.icems.eu), he has contributed significantly to groundbreaking research on the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

    Prof. Giuliani’s research work transitioned from an early focus on Ionizing Radiation dosimetry to EMF protection in 1997. Collaborations with Emilio Del Giudice and Mikhail Zhadin directed his attention to studying the behavior of aqueous solutions under Extremely Low Frequencies (ELFs), revealing the Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR) effect. The subsequent investigations, including studies with various researchers, unveiled the concurrent mechanism of protonation of water due to ICR of hydronium hydrates and the discovery of cations transport through floating water bridges. Since 2006, his research has exclusively focused on describing the effects of ICR on normal and cancer cells, and on bacteria, modulating antibiotic resistance. A significant outcome in 2022 was the publication of successful results from a clinical test, confirming the acupuncture theory proposed by Brizhik, Del Giudice, Maric, Oehler, Popp, and Schlecbusch.

    Prof. Giuliani’s illustrious scientific career has played pivotal roles in regulatory advocacy and ground-breaking research in electromagnetism, specifically in unveiling the profound role that water plays. We are delighted to announce that he will be the one to open this year’s aquaphotomics webinar series.

    Please mark this date and time in your calendars, and join us on 27th February, 5pm JST. To join the session, simply sign up for attendance using the provided “Sign Up” form. The event, as always, is free for all who wish to participate.

    Don’t miss out on this enriching experience! Whether your expertise lies in water studies, aquaphotomics, or spectroscopy, Prof. Giuliani’s presentation is sure to captivate and inspire.

    We look forward to seeing you!

    Dear friends and colleagues,

    We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar featuring Dr. Lian Li, associated professor at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Shandong University in China. Dr. Li received his PhD at Shandong University in 2016 and is now a member of Prof. Zang’s research group, where his main research interests are in application and visualization of (near infrared) NIR spectroscopy and Aquaphotomics in pharmaceutical process analysis. In 2022, he received the “Lu Wanzhen Near Infrared Spectroscopy Youth Award” from China Council of Near Infrared Spectroscopy. He was also a winner of the Best poster award at the 4th International Aquaphotomics Conference in 2021.

    In this webinar titled “Application of aquaphotomics in understanding the behavior of macromolecules,” Dr. Li will discuss some typical applications of aquaphotomics in human serum albumin (HSA), peanut allergens, hyaluronic acid (HA), and stevioside analysis which have been investigated in his group. Proteins and carbohydrates are important elements in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and better understanding of the manufacturing process, and the role of water in it, is crucial. Water can be a potential probe to characterize minor, but very important changes. Dr. Li will demonstrate how water can be used as a powerful tool to understand the microworld with aquaphotomics.

    Aquaphotomics May Webinar – Quantum World of Liquid Water

    Recording

    Dear friends and colleagues,

    We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar featuring Dr. Antonella De Ninno, a distinguished researcher in quantum electrodynamics (QED) coherence in condensed matter and the two-fluids nature of liquid water. Dr. De Ninno obtained her Physics degrees from the University “La Sapienza” of Rome and has been a researcher at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) since 1987, where she has published over 80 research items.

    Her collaboration with famous Italian theoretical physicists Giuliano Preparata and Emilio Del Giudice has led to a deep understanding of the two-fluids nature of liquid water and its role in biology through the concept of quantum electrodynamics (QED) coherence in condensed matter. This theory provides an innovative approach to the supra-molecular structure of liquid water and its exceptional role in biology. Dr. De Ninno has also worked on several experimental layouts, such as FTIR, X-ray fluorescence, and THz spectroscopy, to demonstrate the two-fluids nature of liquid water. She has shown a keen interest in the effect of ions on the structural order of water, and QED has provided insight into the physical mechanism of interaction between extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields and living systems.

    In this webinar titled “Two fluids in liquid water: theory and experimental observations” Dr. De Ninno will present a series of simple and reliable experiments that demonstrate the two-fluids nature of liquid water and its implications for biology. Biologists have long envisioned such a model since the 1960s to explain experimental observations on the water surrounding cells and biological tissues. Through molecular spectroscopy (FTIR and NIR) of water solutions, dielectric spectroscopy (TH time-domain), and exclusion zone formation, among other observations, Dr. De Ninno will broaden our understanding of liquid water and its unique properties.

    The webinar will take place on May 16th on the Zoom platform and is free for all attendees. Please use the “Sign up” form below to register.

    We look forward to your participation!

  • First Anniversary of the Aquaphotomics Research Department at Kobe University

    First Anniversary of the Aquaphotomics Research Department at Kobe University

    Spring has come, and warm sunshine is illuminating the cherry blossoms in full bloom. One year has passed since the establishment of the Aquaphotomics Department, Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Kobe University.

    I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who support our research activities, to all aspiring researchers around the world, to my colleagues, and to my friends and family. With all my heart, thank you very much.

    In Japan, where I have spent a quarter of a century of my career, the world’s first Aquaphotomics laboratory was established at Kobe University, Japan, in 25th anniversary year. In this new Research Department, which I started upon my retirement, I continue to enjoy science together with my co-workers. Within the past year, our first book on Aquaphotomics research has been published (*1), and we are in the process of editing for publication of a special issue of “Molecules” journal on Aquaphotomics (*2), and many papers have been submitted. In order to share and continue Aquaphotomics research with researchers around the world, we have organized webinars and lively discussions. We received inquiries from all over the world from researchers who want to visit and research in our lab.

    The other day, I received a very nice and grateful words from a person who has been supporting our research, and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce it to you. This man was an engineer who had been involved in the development of spectroscopic instruments, which are indispensable for our research.

    “That’s what I’ve been looking for Aquaphotomics research. There is now a science that can reveal it. I am happy to be able to support a tool to reveal the truth in life.

    I have learned many things until I started working, and I have also been exposed to new knowledge, technologies, and studies in my work. I was involved in the development of production technologies that applied these technologies and used them in the manufacturing process, and I was also involved in the budgeting of a team that developed lithium-ion batteries for automobiles and the introduction of analytical equipment.

    I think all of this was in preparation for understanding the truth through Aquaphotomics research. I am grateful for this miraculous encounter.”

    I believe that science is the wisdom of humanity, transcending countries and time, as we take over, pass on, and cooperate with each other. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us by continuing to push forward the Aquaphotomics studies.

    I would like to start the next year with deep gratitude especially to our sponsor Dr. Recella for being able to continue our research today.

    I pray for the world peace and good health for all of you. Thank you very much.
