“…It is of interest that a new quantum state of water molecules was discovered with a 6-fold rotational symmetry, in which the water dipole molecules are arranged in a kind of superposition, that is if they are placed in tiny channels in tiny spaces of the type that also occur in living cells. (Johnson, 2009;Kolesnikov 2016). The particular water clusters posses' unique terahertz frequency vibrational modes in the 1-6 THz range and are supposed instrumental in cellular architecture, protein folding, structuring of DNA/RNA, in addition to EM phonon coupling and specific absorption of gravitational active virtual photons from vacuum fluctuations.…”

Recently, a novel biological principle, revealing specific electromagnetic (EM) radiation frequencies that sustain life, was presented by us on the basis of an evaluation of 175 biological articles concerning beneficial effects of electromagnetic waves on the state of living cells. This concept was also based on a very similar range of frequencies emitted by a clay-mineral catalyst of RNA synthesis that may have been instrumental in the evolutionary initiation of first life, and therefore was tentatively designated as "Algorithm of Life". The particular spectrum of frequency bands indicate that nature seems to employ discrete eigenfrequencies or standing waves that match precisely with an acoustic scale, with frequency ratios of 1:2, and closely approximated by 2:3, 3:4, 3:5, 4:5 and higher partials, allowing the discrete frequencies to be expressed in scalars. Our further studies clearly indicate now that this "life algorithm" pattern matches very well with the mathematical calculations of W. Ritz (1909) to compute eigenfrequencies of the sound induced geometric patterns. These have been earlier demonstrated through membrane vibration experiments of E. Chladni (1787), as well as several follow up studies from 1970-2013. Our findings, therefore, touch upon the science of acoustics, also since we show that the discrete frequencies could be modeled by music torus geometry. We postulate that the spectrum of EM frequencies detected, exhibit a quantum ordering effect on life cells on the basis of induction of geometric wave patterns. These constitute phonon/photon and electron wave energies, and quantum oscillations at far-infrared frequencies, that are communicated through toroidal constructive interference into scalar wave information. This idea is supported through our identification of potential intrinsic toroidal eigenfrequencies and minimal energy levels. The particular torus topology for information processing may also provide quantum error correction and protection against decoherence. Finally, we propose a phonon guided organization of cells and integral brain function by three elementary processes: 1) A phonon mediated geometric organization of coherent arrangement of water molecules in cellular plasma, leading to instructive functional organization of cellular structures and metabolic processes and enabling the origination and sustainment of life processes. 2) Toroidal phonon/photon/electron coupling, protecting standing wave coherency of resonant cell components such as proteins and DNA. 3) A toroidal integration of electromagnetic and phononic fluxes of information into scalar standing waves, promoting quantum flux of informational excitons such as Ca2+-ions and electrons (polaron and polariton formation). Our brain, therefore, can be placed in a 4+1 geometry, supported by internal and external quantum states and makes use of geometrical defined information fluxes, that are converted to standing waves. The integration of these interrelated processes is considered to be instrumental in the creatio...

“…For example, the dynamics of H 2 O confined in ∼ 5Å diameter channels of beryl single crystal have been studied by using QENS and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) at CNCS and SEQUOIA. [82,83] The QENS study with energy resolution 0.25 meV with the scattering momentum transfer along the channels showed gradual freezing of water molecule dynamics at temperatures below ∼ 200 K, whereas the dynamical features was generally much weaker with the momentum transfer perpendicular to the channels. At higher temperatures the…”

“…In addition, the water proton momentum distribution measured with deep inelastic neutron scattering (VESUVIO, ISIS[84]) directly showed coherent delocalization of the water protons in the ground state. The observation of multiple tunneling peaks and a coherent delocalization of protons over all possible positions across the beryl channel allowed the view of the tunneling water as "a new state of the water molecule" [83].

The first eight years of operation of the Cold Neutron Chopper Spectrometer (CNCS) at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge is being reviewed. The instrument has been part of the facility user program since 2009, and more than 250 individual user experiments have been performed to date. CNCS is an extremely powerful and versatile instrument and offers leading edge performance in terms of beam intensity, energy resolution, and flexibility to trade one for another.

“…In this case, INS peaks interpreted as tunnelling modes affecting the confined water molecule were directly related to the delocalisation of water's hydrogen accessed through the analysis of its NMD [19]. Moreover, the comparison of INS and DINS data at several temperatures allows for a deeper discussion on the origin of hydrogen bonding and its evolution with the thermodynamic phase.…”

Abstract.Despite the large variety of research interests and themes motivating the current neutron research included in this collection, we have found common denominators characterising the manner in which the chosen research methodology tries to tackle the envisaged scientific questions. This article attempts to characterise those trends in current research with the aim of identifying the main mid-to-long term opportunities faced by electron-Volt neutron spectroscopy. The main realisation from this exercise is that the scientific community seems eager to combine neutron-based techniques over a broad energy range. To this end, the most natural choice seems to be to resort to neutron instruments where such capabilities are already present from the outset, with the most prominent example being the VESUVIO spectrometer at the ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source in the UK. However broad the operational basis of the existing neutron beamline infrastructure may be, progress, achievable only through further instrument upgrades, is the only way forward. The need to move forward is clearly seen within the community and is well documented by the research presented in this collection. This need for a substantial upgrade has crystallised in the form of a proposition to build a station rather than a conventional beamline, for Epithermal and Thermal Neutron Analysis station, hereafter ETNA.
