The emphasis of the Applied Water Physics Theme lies in the exploration of these basic properties of water, especially its interactions with electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, vortical flow fields, and the effect of such interactions on living organisms like bacteria. Based upon deeper insights into the fundamentals of water, the theme furthermore focuses on screening commercially available water treatment concepts based upon such interaction.

Thereby, breakthrough discoveries through fundamental research and pioneering screening experiments with physical, chemical and biological model systems are combined to pave the way for the development of seminal, epoch making water treatment technologies. The theme started in 2007.
