When water is no longer just H₂O
A documentary film on Amazon Prime Video
Water is the most abundant substance on Earth—and, at the same time, one of the least fully understood.
In addition to its well-known chemical properties, a growing number of scientific studies suggest that water can exhibit complex collective behaviors, interact with external stimuli in non-trivial ways, and respond to electromagnetic fields and infrared radiation under specific conditions. These phenomena are now being investigated at the intersection of physics, biology, and materials science, opening up new perspectives on the role of water not only as a passive medium but as an active component of natural and technological systems.
This emerging scientific scenario is the focus of the documentary “L’acqua e le frequenze della vita” an Arte Video project directed by Marco Fabbro, recently released on Amazon Prime Video and also available on Apple TV. The documentary brings together international researchers from different disciplines to explore the profound connection between water, frequencies, and life, offering a rare interdisciplinary view of a rapidly evolving field of research.
A converging scientific landscape
Rather than proposing a single theory or closed framework, the documentary highlights a convergence of independent lines of research. Physicists, biologists, physicians, and materials scientists—from Europe to Japan—describe experimental observations and theoretical models that seem to point toward common principles.
Among the central references is the work of Emilio Del Giudice, whose contribution to the study of coherent domains in water has provided a conceptual framework for much of the current research. The documentary does not present definitive conclusions, but documents a scientific field in motion, made up of hypotheses, experimental verifications, and continuous dialogue.
It is precisely this plurality of viewpoints that constitutes its strength.
OXHY’s contribution: engineering at the cutting edge of research
Within this broader context, OXHY is featured in the documentary through the participation of Roberto Germano, co-founder and CTO. OXHY’s participation reflects our position at the intersection of cutting-edge research and technological development.
At OXHY, we study how specific water-based materials can interact with environmental infrared radiation, giving rise to measurable electrical effects. This line of research is based on recent advances in condensed matter physics and materials science, and aims to translate experimental phenomena into engineered energy harvesting devices, such as our Oxhycells.
It is important to emphasize that our work is not a point of arrival, but an open path of research and engineering. The documentary captures this aspect well, presenting OXHY as one of the possible technological directions emerging from a broader process of scientific convergence.
From scientific intuition to technological exploration
The transition from fundamental research to technology is never linear or predictable. It requires rigor, experimental validation, continuous iteration—and above all, awareness of the complexity of natural systems.
This is why we consider the documentary not only an opportunity for visibility, but above all for contextualization. Its distribution on Amazon Prime Video signals a growing interest in these issues, but also implies a responsibility to communicate them with clarity and scientific integrity.
OXHY’s mission is to explore how insights from advanced physics and materials science can be transformed, methodically and prudently, into new approaches to sustainable energy generation, without oversimplifying the underlying science or jumping to conclusions.
An open field, not a closed narrative
“L’acqua e le frequenze della vita” helps to provide a vivid picture of a series of lines of inquiry, including OXHY’s activities, showing how fundamental research and technological development can proceed in a complementary manner.
We are delighted to be part of this wider conversation, alongside researchers, institutions, and independent thinkers committed to building a deeper understanding of water, energy, and life itself.
The path is still open—and we are convinced that the most interesting chapters of this story are yet to be written.
