Promotion of cell ageing by radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (LTE signal)? (Choi et al. 2020)

March 4, 2021
In this study, Choi et al. (2020) used a modulated RF-EMF, for which only few experimental data are available so far. The authors exposed cultured cells with a typical LTE signal (Long Term Evolution; 4G) on a 1.7 GHz carrier frequency, and investigated its effect on aspects of cell vitality and proliferation. Different types of...

A Putative Mechanism for Magnetoreception by Electromagnetc Induction in the Pigeon Inner Ear

March 4, 2021
Magnetoreception in the inner ear of pigeons (Nimpf et al. 2019) Some animals can sense magnetic fields and use them for orientation. Various mechanisms have been discussed in this regard, yet little is known about whether and if so, where such sensory structures to detect static magnetic fields exist in these animals. The study by...
