The Fourth Phase of Water: Dr. Gerald Pollack at TEDxGuelphU
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 6 Σεπ 2013
Does water have a fourth phase, beyond solid, liquid and vapor?
University
of Washington Bioengineering Professor Gerald Pollack answers this
question, and intrigues us to consider the implications of this finding.
Not all water is H2O, a radical departure from what you may have
learned from textbooks.
Pollack received his PhD in biomedical
engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He then joined
the University of Washington faculty and is now professor of
Bioengineering. His interests have ranged broadly, from biological
motion and cell biology to the interaction of biological surfaces with
aqueous solutions. His 1990 book, Muscles and Molecules: Uncovering the
Principles of Biological Motion, won an "Excellence Award" from the
Society for Technical Communication; his more recent book, Cells, Gels
and the Engines of Life, won that Society's "Distinguished Award."
Pollack received an honorary doctorate in 2002 from Ural State
University in Ekaterinburg, Russia, and was more recently named an
Honorary Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He received the
Biomedical Engineering Society's Distinguished Lecturer Award in 2002.
In 2008, he was the faculty member selected by the University of
Washington faculty to receive their highest annual distinction: the
Faculty Lecturer Award. Pollack is a Founding Fellow of the American
Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering and a Fellow of both the
American Heart Association and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He
is also Founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal, WATER, and has recently
received an NIH Transformative R01 Award. He was the 2012 recipient of
the Prigogine Medal and in 2013 published his new book: The Fourth Phase
of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor.
In the spirit of
ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events
that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx
event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion
and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are
branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED
Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but
individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules
