Profile Water is one of the most abundant molecular species on the earth and is an indispensable substance for human life activities. For example, many of the substances related to life, food, and housing, which are the most important items in daily life, contain water inside, and their physical properties and functionality are formed by the electrical interaction between water-solute molecules. Determined by the molecular population.
The interaction between these molecules is constructed and decayed repeatedly in picoseconds (1/100 billion seconds), so the molecular population formed is a dynamic structure whose composition is constantly changing. Since it is difficult to observe "molecular dynamics" such as this extremely fast structural collapse / reconstruction and molecular interaction with surrounding solutes, there are many unexplained parts in the dynamic information of this molecular population. It has been actively verified by experiments and computer simulations.
In our laboratory, we elucidate the physical characteristics expression mechanism (mechanism) of "soft substances" such as liquids, living organisms, and foods by using wideband dielectric spectroscopy and self-light mixed laser measurement methods, which are the laboratory's original experimental techniques and equipment. We aim to understand what we do and on a common scale called "water structure".
