Professor Marc Henry (1958-2024)

Professor Marc Henry passed away on November 2024 aged 66 after a long fight against cardio-vascular disease. His academic career focused on the physical nature of water. This is of particular importance in the chemistry of gel-sol compounds, and quantum physics was essential to his understanding of this phenomenon. In the later part of life he focused on the role of water in life. With his collaborators, the conversations were never futile but deeply rooted in the key problems of life. He could share and explain, in simple terms, chemistry or physics for hours on end. As his interest on the chemical complexity of water was not shared by his colleagues, he reached to the public with short and concise books or conferences on topics as varied as life, water, homeopathy and quantum physics.
