In aquaphotomics, “aqua” means water, “photo” means light, and “omics” means “field of study” or “all about”

Aquaphotomics monitors biological systems by irradiating light onto them and then using the spectrum from the always-present water molecules as an integrative biomarker. Due to its recent advancements and research capabilities, aquaphotomics has been increasingly attracting attention and even already accepted across a wide range of fields, including agriculture, medicine, physics, and quantum mechanics. In the future, it is expected to become a denominator of all -omics disciplines.

So far conventional sciences have delved deep in specific narrow fields, for example genomics focusing on genes, or proteomics focusing on proteins. But by focusing on water, an indispensable and crucial ingredient within every measured system, aquaphotomics becomes a comprehensive index that encompasses all other fields of science.

Water coexists in and around all cells, and conveys vast amounts of information about water-soluble and -insoluble substances, as well as the surrounding environment through changes in the molecular structure of water. Based on the aquaphotomics discovery that water functions as a mirror of matter and energy, it is also called the water mirror approach (WAMA), similarly like lake water that acts as a mirror and reflects the scenery exactly as it is.
