THE STRUCTURE OF WATER AND THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS OF LOW FREQUENCY
G. Piccardi · 1959
Low-frequency electromagnetic fields can alter water's molecular structure and surface tension, potentially affecting biological processes.
Plain English Summary
This 1959 research by G. Piccardi investigated how low-frequency electromagnetic fields affect the molecular structure and surface tension properties of water. The study examined the physical changes that occur in water when exposed to electromagnetic radiation, focusing on how these fields alter water's fundamental characteristics at the molecular level.
Why This Matters
This early research represents groundbreaking work in understanding how electromagnetic fields interact with water at the molecular level. Given that the human body is roughly 60% water, Piccardi's findings about EMF-induced structural changes in water have profound implications for biological systems. The science demonstrates that even low-frequency electromagnetic fields can alter the fundamental properties of water, including surface tension and molecular organization. What this means for you is that EMF exposure doesn't just potentially affect cells directly, but may also disrupt the water within and around your cells. This research laid important groundwork for understanding how EMF exposure could influence biological processes through water-mediated mechanisms, decades before we fully grasped the extent of our daily EMF exposure from modern technology.
Finding
The water that received the action of the generator at a short distance shows surface tension inferior to that of the water that did not receive it from a distance. The difference is from 1 to 2% lower.
In their words
“The water that received the action of the generator at a short distance shows surface tension inferior to that of the water that did not receive it from a distance. The difference is from 1 to 2% lower.”
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. Duration: 1 minute
Study Details

The semipermanent variation of surface tension is due to variation in the internal structure of water. The experiment is perfectly differential, with the only difference being the intensity of the electromagnetic field applied. The same structural variations were also demonstrated using measures of surface electropotential.
