  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the basic experimental laws of nonthermal millimeter wave interaction with various biological objects. These mm-waves are greatly absorbed by water and aqueous media. Microwave radiation is vastly absorbed by free molecules of water. It can change the properties of water both in the outer and inner medium in cells. Under the influence of mm-waves in liquid, convection takes place. Many biochemical processes including membrane processes are sensitive to the medium stirring media. The difference in the absorption capacity of bound and unbound water molecules stimulates non-additivity of microwave radiation absorption by aqueous solutions. This became the basis of the new trends in study of intermolecular interaction in solutes and solvents.
