This protocol and pilot study evaluated whether smartphone signal strength indicators can be converted into RF-EMF exposure estimates using derived formulas and regression models. The study reports a positive log-linear association between LTE RSSI and far-field (base station) exposure aggregated by location, while…

This article is a commentary on how emotions and community dynamics can bias scientific reasoning when a favored hypothesis becomes a "ruling hypothesis." Using animal magnetoreception as an example, it argues that radical-pair/cryptochrome-centered frameworks may sometimes be treated as dominant, potentially leading…

This animal study evaluated electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation as a treatment after sciatic nerve injury in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats received low-intensity (60–100 G; 6–10 mT) or high-intensity (140–200 G; 14–20 mT) EMF exposure for 2 hours/day over 4 weeks. The abstract reports improved motor/mobility…

This paper discusses how low-energy, specifically modulated electromagnetic fields delivered via an active closed-loop medical device may temporarily alter plasma membrane ionic flow and heart oscillation dynamics. It frames heart rate dynamics as a surrogate for systemic synchronization/entrainment and suggests…

This in vitro study characterized spinning oscillating magnetic field (sOMF) stimulation patterns that the authors report can induce cytotoxicity in two types of human glioma cells. The reported effect was linked to a critical rise in superoxide, and was reversed by the antioxidant Trolox, suggesting ROS involvement.…

This animal study evaluated whole-body EMF stimulation in a rat model of complete spinal cord injury. Compared with SCI alone, EMF exposure for 7 or 14 days was reported to improve electrophysiological measures of motor neuron excitability and enhance soleus muscle contractile performance. Histopathology and protein…

This review discusses longstanding EMF theories of mind/brain integration as a potential explanation for unified conscious experience and aspects of the "hard problem" of consciousness. It notes that EMFs are measurable and that correlates have been reported with changes in consciousness, sensory perception, and…

This study reports a noninvasive pulsed-burst electromagnetic field (PEMF) approach intended to protect against radiotherapy-induced bone loss. A 15 Hz, 2 mT PEMF waveform is described as producing distinctive calcium oscillations in osteoblasts and inhibiting radiation-related bone loss while not affecting other…

This in vitro study examined how different external magnetic field conditions affect isoniazid release from superparamagnetic iron oxide microspheres. The abstract reports that magnetic fields accelerated drug release, with faster release in acidic (pH 3) conditions and the fastest completion (2 hours) under an…

This single-institution cohort analysis compared radiofrequency microtenotomy with plantar fasciotomy for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis, including a group receiving both procedures. Patient-reported outcomes (SF-36, AOFAS) and satisfaction/expectations were reportedly similar across procedures at 6 months and 1…

This Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) Scientific Council report provides an annual overview of the previous year’s research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) to support the Authority’s risk assessment and policy work. It updates key topics including ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, mobile phones,…

This engineering/food science study measured dielectric constant (ε'), dielectric loss factor (ε″), and power penetration depth in beef and gravy preparations across 27–1,800 MHz and 20–130 °C. The dielectric properties generally decreased with increasing frequency, and penetration depth decreased with increasing…

This food science study assessed how UV irradiation, pulsed electric field, hot water dip, and ethanol vapour treatments affected mung bean sprout quality and storage life at room and low temperatures. The abstract reports minimal effects on sprout growth metrics, with ethanol suppressing length/weight, hot water dip…

This engineering study investigates resonance behavior in diabolo metal bar optical antennas using FDTD numerical simulations and a dipole oscillator model. It reports that narrowing the antenna waist increases optical absorption and near-field enhancement at resonance and produces a red-shift in resonant…
