A Coherent Electrodynamics Theory of Liquid Water

  • Antonella De Ninno and
  • Luca Gamberale

5 November 2025

This study presents a quantum electrodynamics (QED) framework that explains the anomalous behavior of liquid water. The theory posits that water consists of two coexisting phases: a coherent phase, in which molecules form phase-locked coherence domai...
