Validation of the physical essence of Frohlich's cell model

Frohlich提出的活细胞模型使人们对生物功能的顺序和效率有了统一的认识。尽管如此，该模型的有效性几十年来一直没有得到验证。该模型的实质是活体细胞中存在太赫兹频率范围内的相干纵向电模。本研究的目的是利用强烈的太赫兹波和反胶束的产生和检测技术来验证其本质，并将其作为细胞的模型系统。为此，已经开发了一种光谱系统，并正在将其应用于反胶束。另一方面，对反胶束的物理性质进行了研究，发现反胶束发生了类似相变的变化，并有水从反胶束中脱落。

A model of living cells proposed by Frohlich leads to a unified understanding of the order and high efficiency in biological functions. Nevertheless, the validity of the model has not been verified for several decades. The essence of the model is the existence of a coherent longitudinal electric mode in a terahertz frequency range in living cells. The purpose of this study is to verify the essence by use of generation and detection techniques of intense terahertz electric waves and reverse micelles that are regarded as a model system of cells. To that end, a spectroscopy system has been developed and its application to reverse micelles is in progress. On the other hand, the physical properties of reverse micelles have been studies, and phase transition-like changes and water shedding from the reverse micelle have been found.
