Abstract
The effect of microwaves on liquid water was investigated by using biosensors and physiochemical techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and spectrophotometry. The results obtained provided evidence for a nonthermal effect of microwaves on liquid water.
AI evidence extraction
Structured fields below were generated from the paper’s abstract and metadata to make the evidence easier to inspect. Automated extraction may be incomplete or incorrect; verify important details against the original paper.
