The 4th Phase of Water
Water is one of the most important substances on Earth, vital for life, and ubiquitous in our environment. Despite its essential role in our lives, we know surprisingly little about this simple molecule. Dr. Gerald Pollack, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington, has been studying water for over two decades and has made some remarkable discoveries about the fourth phase of water.
Dr. Pollack's research has shown that water can exist in a fourth phase, a gel-like state that he calls "exclusion zone" or EZ water. This phase is not the solid, liquid, or vapor phases that we are familiar with, but a new form of water that has unique properties.
Dr. Pollack's research on the fourth phase of water has also led to a new understanding of how water interacts with surfaces. He has shown that when water comes into contact with certain surfaces, such as hydrophilic (water-loving) surfaces, it can create a large exclusion zone of EZ water. This property could have significant implications for water filtration, desalination, and other environmental applications. By understanding the unique properties of EZ water, we can unlock new ways of harnessing the power of water to improve our lives and the world around us.
