Hans Jenny passed soundwaves through a plate covered in a medium (like sand) to
generate patterns (see: Cymatics). You can actually do this experiment at the Science
museum by drawing a taut rubber belt, like a violin bow, down the side of a metal
plate covered in sand you can get patterns to appear. (Another hint that the material world
is made up of frequencies of energy. Look into the natural musical scale and the musical
universe for further information on that.)

Pictures of Sound:
Making Invisible Vibrations Visible
Another pioneer in this arena was Dr. Hans Jenny. A Swiss medical doctor and a scientist,
Hans Jenny realized the importance of vibration and sound and set out to study them
from a unique angle. His fascinating experiments into the study of wave phenomena
(which he called cymatics, from the Greek kyma, meaning wave) provide nothing less
than pictures of how sound influences matter.
In the 1960s, Dr. Jenny placed sand, fluid and powders on metal plates, which he vibrated
with a special frequency generator and a speaker. His experiments produced beautiful and
intricate patterns that were unique to each individual vibration (see photographs below).
Moreover, these varying patterns remained intact as long as the sound pulsed through the
substance. If the sound stopped, the pattern collapsed. For many, these experiments show
that sound can indeed alter form, that different frequencies produce different results, and
that sound actually creates and maintains form.

Although best known for his stunning cymatic images, Dr. Jenny was also an artist and
musician as well as a philosopher, historian and physical scientist. Perhaps most
important, he was a serious student of natures ways with keen powers of observation.
Whether it was the cycle of the seasons, a birds feathers, a rain drop, the formation of
weather patterns, mountains or ocean wavesor even poetry, the periodic table, music or
social systemsDr. Jenny saw an underlying, unifying theme: wave patterns, produced
by vibration.
Wherever we look, we can describe what we see in terms of periodicities and
rhythmicities, he wrote. When nature creates anything it creates in this periodic style. 1
For him, everything reflected inherent patterns of vibration involving number, proportion
and symmetrywhat he called the harmonic principle. Dr. Jenny encouraged
continuing research into the wave phenomenon. The purpose of such studies, he
explained, was to hear the systems of Nature. What we want to do is, as it were, to
learn to hear the process that blossoms in flowers, to hear embryology in its
manifestations and to apprehend the inwardness of the process, he wrote.

The September 28, 1999 New York Times carried an article by James Glanz entitled
``Scientists Discover New Clues to Earthquakes' Deadly Vibrations.'' He is referring to
the similarity between the surface manifestation of certain tremors and the phenomenon
of ``oscillons.'' Oscillons were named and first studied by Paul Umbanhowar (now at
Northwestern University) and colleagues in 1996. They studied the behavior of spherical
copper beads in a vibrating tray, and found, at certain frequencies, stable repeating
patterns, as in this figure
The experiments relevant to the behavior of terrain were carried out by Jay Fineberg and
O. Lioubashevski (Racah Institute of Physics), Y. Hamiel, Z. Reches, and A. Agnon
(Geology Department) at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. This time the medium was
thin mud, the vibrations were in the range 60-100 cycles per second, and the
following phenomena were observed. (This picture appeared in the Times).

Myxococcus Xanthus images
My point of view is that chemotaxis is only part of the explanation and that wave
patterns are also influenced and produced by Electromagnetic fields generated by
the chemical reactions taking place. When you change the chemical reactions you
will change the EMFs, BUT THE CONVERSE IS ALSO TRUE. Using terminology
from Biophysics the term wavelength also refers to EMf's. The dynamic nature of
shifting/switching electromagnetic field frequencies + amplitude will also account
for pattern formation shifts and may be part of the explanation for the dynamics
swarm behavior. Steve Haltiwanger
Like something from a horror movie, the swarm of bacteria ripples purposefully
toward their prey, devours it and moves on.
Researchers at the University of Iowa are studying this behaviour in Myxococcus xanthus
(M. xanthus), a bacterium commonly found in soil, which preys on other bacteria.
Despite its deadly role in the bacterial world, M. xanthus is harmless to humans and
might one day be used beneficially to destroy harmful bacteria on surfaces or in human
infections, said John Kirby, Ph.D., associate professor of microbiology in the UI Roy J.
and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine.
M. xanthus lives in a multi-cellular unit that can change its structure and behaviour in
response to changing availability of prey. This adaptive ability to control movement in
response to an environmental stimulus is called chemotaxis, and the research team
coined the term predataxis to describe M. xanthus behaviour in response to prey.
In earlier studies, Kirby and James Berleman, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in Kirby's lab,
showed that the presence of prey causes M. xanthus to form parallel rippling waves that
move toward and through prey bacteria. Now, how the bacteria organise to form these
travelling waves in response to the presence of prey is the subject of the UI team's latest
study, which was published online Oct. 24 in Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences (PNAS) Early Edition.
crystals has experienced significant progress. Liquid crystals are phases intermediate
between solid and liquid; they occur in synthetic as well as in organic compounds. The
Kevlar fiber is an example of a highly employed liquid crystal polymer; many virus and
bacteria colonies as well as biological tissues present liquid crystal ordering. Liquid
crystals of small molecular weight consist of rigid, rod-like molecules that tend to follow
preferential directions of alignment. Their interaction with electric and magnetic fields is
at the core of application to display devices.
Living cells use and generate electric, magnetic and electromagnetic (both coherent
and incoherent biophoton) waves and also acoustic waves as conformational changes in
macromolecules called conformons (analogy to lattice vibration of phonons in solid
crystals) [12-17]. Electricity is a basic feature of cells, because all biomolecules are ions
or biomolecules are endowed with high electric dipole moment. Besides, when their
charges move an electromagnetic field is generated. Magnetic features can emergence
from free radicals, organic molecules with metals or biomagnetites [18]. Besides,
according to ESR (electron-spin resonance) experiments all living cells or organisms
have paramagnetic features in native state [19]. Conformons are originated from
continuously moving of molecules.
Different parts (DNA, RNA, protein) of the cells show piezoelectric and
semiconductor features [20-23]. The piezoelectric effect refers to that property of matter,
which can convert electromagnetic oscillations to mechanical vibrations and vice versa or
electric oscillations to mechanical vibration and vice versa. Cells piezoelectric features
can produce circular polarized light pulse, which is the base that living molecules are not
raceme mixtures of optically active molecules. Organic semiconductors have crystal-like
structure and electrical conductivity as diode. The electric fields of the wave can couple
to the mobile carriers within a semiconductor structure and modify its electronic and
elastic properties. Optical signals (biophoton) can be stored by the surface acoustic waves
(conformon as mechanical vibrations in macromolecules similar to phonon in the solid
crystals) in the semiconductor, in a photon-atom-bound way [24], and can be reassembled into light after very long delay times and at a remote location of the sample."

10% polyethylene glycol 6000 did not cause binding of DNA to the recipient bacteria.
When subjected to a high electric field, however, 9098% of the input plasmid or phage
DNAs were complexed with the cells. By application of the electric field, a significant
amount of biotin-labeled DNA was bound onto the recipient surface, as detected by
fluorescein isothiocyanate-coupled avidin. When subjected to a high voltage pulse, DNA
molecules were rapidly attracted toward the anode. Concurrently, the electric field
induced the orientation of bacterial cells, along the field lines and their movement
toward the anode. Since the bacterial movement was relatively slow, a substantial
fraction of DNA molecules must strike the cathode-facing end or side of the recipient
cells. Irrespective of the high efficiency of DNA transformation, the voltage pulse did not
induce release of alkaline phosphate and -galactosidase. The electrotransferred DNA first
remained sensitive to Tris-EDTA treatment, and became refractory to spheroplasting only
after incubation at 37C. These results indicate that the infecting DNA is
electrophoretically plugged to the outer membrane loosened by the voltage pulse.
I believe that conformational changes take place when liquid crystal biomolecules
are exposed to specific frequencies of electromagnetic fields. This is a process
called electroconformational coupling. These conformational changes will result is
changes in the chemical processes that are taking place and can account for changes
in phase behavior is swarming. It is my contention that use of plasma tubes
controlled by frequency generators can be used to increase the production of certain
metabolites for commercial use from bacterial cultures. Steve Haltiwanger
Recently, Tjandra et al.5 found an application of dilute liquid crystal phases that reveals
important structure parameters of dissolved molecules, employing NMR spectroscopy.6
The use of these phases has escalated rapidly, creating a need for robust methods to
interpret the new experimental parameters. Frequently the molecular functionality is
related to changes in the molecular structure,7,8 and these conformational changes affect
the experimental parameters.9 A reasonable interpretation of the experiments must
therefore take all possible structures into consideration. The problem posed by including
all such structures is the enormous number of possible combinations that arises.10,11 This
thesis introduces a novel and superior method of determining the most frequent molecular
structures. In order to verify the applicability of the new method, rigorous tests and
descriptions of the liquid crystal systems are presented in the included papers and
discussed in the thesis.
The molecular structure is also important in materials science, being responsible for all
chemical processes12 including phase behavior,13,14 e.g. in liquid crystal displays, which
are formed by rod-like molecules. Since molecules can usually adopt several different
conformations, the focus of this thesis is the development of tools for determining which
conformations are significantly populated. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy is an established tool for studies of condensed phases.15,16 In particular, the
residual through-space magnetic dipoledipole couplings have been proven to be of great
importance for structure determination of molecules in partially ordered systems.17,18
