Transmission of Electromagnetic Waves in Softmaterial Waveguides

Article Preview

Abstract:

We report here experimental data for transmission of electromagnetic waves through a variety of softmaterial structures made of plastic tubes and ionic solutions, as compared to that in the free space. The results firmly support the theory on softmaterial waveguides in the environment of ionic solutions. This is a solid step towards a better understanding of the underlying physics for the electrical communication in biosystems through axons and membranes. It also offers valuable insight for further experiments with artificial materials at the nanoscale, and experiments in live animals.
