Homeopathic remedies "can be easily distinguished from the pure solvent"

Most natural waters are probably “ultra dilute”: aquasols. While the composition of such waters is routinely characterized thoroughly with respect to composition, very little attention has been paid to the solid phases which are certainly suspended in most, if not all, such. Our recent work having established the importance of the structure of water on its properties, [[1]; R. Roy, W.A. Tiller, I. Bell, M.R. Hoover; Mater Res Innov. 9 (2005) 577.] we have examined the structures of many waters with easily demonstrated (e.g. silver aquasols) or long-claimed (e.g. homeopathic remedies) biological effects. The results show that such materials can be easily distinguished from the pure solvent , and from each other, by the use of UV–VIS and Raman spectroscopy, while FTIR is insensitive to these differences. This opens up a whole new field of endeavor for inorganic materials scientists interested in biological effects.

Hmmm, what's everyone's take on this?

Probably crackpottery, but without seeing what they actually did, it is tough to know for sure.

I would say that this article presents interesting findings that suggest homeopathic remedies can be distinguished from pure solvents based on their structures, as shown by UV-VIS and Raman spectroscopy. This provides a potential avenue for further research in the field of inorganic materials and their effects on biology. However, more studies will need to be conducted to fully understand the implications of these findings and their potential applications. It is important to approach this topic with an open and critical mind, as with any scientific research.
