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 study assessed pre-sowing treatment of saffron corms with cold plasma, vacuum, and an electromagnetic field (5 min) and measured effects on sprouting, growth, and stigma metabolites. EMF treatment did not affect corm viability and showed neutral or slightly positive growth effects, including increased flower…

This study evaluated whether seed treatment with cold plasma or an electromagnetic field can alter antioxidant capacity in Norway spruce seedlings across ten half-sib families. The abstract reports that responses varied substantially by genetic family and seedling age, with some families showing increased antioxidant…

This in vivo animal study examined how low-frequency electromagnetic field exposure affects antioxidant status in Wistar rats. The authors report frequency-dependent changes in antioxidant enzyme activity and hydroperoxide content in blood plasma. They also propose that LF EMF may stimulate low levels of ROS that…

This plant study evaluated whether short pre-sowing treatments with cold plasma or an electromagnetic field alter sweetener-related metabolites in stevia leaves. The authors report modest improvements in germination and a strong stimulation of steviol glycoside accumulation, with a larger increase in stevioside than…

This in vitro study evaluated whether extremely low-frequency EMF (50 Hz,

This study evaluated whether adding therapeutic extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) treatment to a rehabilitation program affects inflammatory cytokine activity in post-stroke patients. Following ELF-EMF treatment, IL-1β plasma levels and IL-1β mRNA expression increased, and IL-2 plasma levels…

This study assessed pre-sowing sunflower seed treatments using vacuum, 5.28 MHz radio-frequency cold plasma, and an electromagnetic field for varying durations. The authors report faster germination with cold plasma (7 min) and EMF (15 min), while germination percentage was mostly unchanged except for a decrease…

This engineering study describes using antenna-coupled microwave radiation to enhance laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) emission from a Gd2O3 sample at reduced pressure. The authors report substantially increased plasma emission intensity, higher-temperature plasma, and longer emission lifetime when…

This experimental study measured the electric field inside a plasma channel formed during a high-pressure nanosecond discharge in hydrogen using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The authors report root-mean-square electric field intensities up to 30 kV/cm in the plasma channel. Polarization measurements…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) as a nonchemical method to activate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for cardioprotection. In rabbits undergoing brief coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion, PRP injection into ischemic myocardium was associated with reduced infarct…

This paper reports the scientific basis and 2D electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulation results for magnetizing an initially unmagnetized plasma using beat-wave current drive. Simulations across different angles between injected waves show beat-wave generation consistent with theoretical predictions and reveal…

This paper describes an engineering method for nucleating nanocrystalline carbon films on monocrystalline silicon using a combination of microwave and radio frequency plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The approach is demonstrated via deposition of nanocrystalline diamond after a seeding step and growth of…

This clinical study evaluated micro-plasma radio frequency treatment for facial acne scars in 24 patients. Patients received 3–5 treatments and were assessed using photographs before and 2 months after treatment. The authors report an overall improvement rate of 83.33% and conclude the technique is effective.
