Nanoparticles-Doped Water: Structure, Properties & Applications

Many compounds in the field of pharmacy are currently dissolved by organic solvents, which are not optimal for the human body. Preliminary results indicate that a new aqueous “material” that is
created through nanoparticles doping of pure water can dissolve compounds that are normally hydrophobic, and stabilize proteins and chemicals in solution. Thus, it may have a dramatic impact on many
fields including chemistry, pharmacy and medicine.
Recent studies of have indicated that doping water with heated insoluble nanoparticles below the anomaly temperature (4°C), followed by RF irradiation, creates a more highly ordered structure
and with lower entropy. Comparison with the effect of RF irradiation on zinc sulfate solutions (in the absence of nanoparticles doping) by studying electrochemical deposition patterns [1] shows that
the doped water produces similar, and even amplified effects, which are consistent with the hypothesis that the structure of water is altered by the doping. Furthermore, the nanoparticles doping
stabilizes the effects of RF irradiation, which are retained for months after the solutions are prepared, while the effect of RF irradiation on water without nanoparticles lasts for only two hours.
Our working hypothesis is that a hydration shell is formed around each nanoparticles in the doped water.
