Birefringent Rydberg Dark Matter from Cosmic Dust
Keith Johnson
Water nanoclusters ejected to space from abundant amorphous water-ice-coated cosmic dust have been proposed to constitute Rydberg baryonic dark matter. This phenomenological model…
Cosmology, astrobiology, and the RNA world. Just add quintessential water
Keith Johnson
Water nanoclusters ejected into interstellar space from abundant amorphous ice-coated cosmic dust offer a hypothetical scenario connecting major mysteries of our universe: dark mat…
Water Buckyball Terahertz Vibrations in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Cosmology
Keith Johnson
Pentagonal dodecahedral buckyball-like water clusters and arrays thereof are shown from first-principles electronic-structure calculations to possess unique terahertz vibrational m…
Water Vapor: An Extraordinary Terahertz Wave Source under Optical Excitation
Keith Johnson, Matthew Price-Gallagher, Orval Mamer +6
In modern terahertz (THz) sensing and imaging spectroscopy, water is considered a nemesis to be avoided due to strong absorption in the THz frequency range. Here we report the firs…
"Water Buckyballs" Chemical, Catalytic, and Cosmic Implications
Keith Johnson
Possible chemical, catalytic, and cosmic roles of charged pentagonal dodecahedral water clusters having "buckyball-like" symmetry are discussed on the basis of electronic and vibro…
