Anomalously Large Heat Generation of Hydration Water under Microwave Irradiation
Hiroshi Murakami
Abstract:Much attention has been paid to the biological effects of microwave irradiation. The hydration water surrounding a biomolecule is crucial in its biological reactions and functions. Therefore, it is important to know the response of hydration water to microwaves to understand their biological effects; however, the scarcity of studies about it often leads to speculations and debates about that effect. In this study, we have made realtime temperature measurements of reverse micellar solutions with their water dro… Show more
