This article addresses electrohypersensitivity (EHS) in the context of public health and EMF-related health concerns. It focuses on distinguishing beliefs about EMF effects from what is currently supported by scientific evidence. The provided text notes ongoing debate and concern and calls for critical assessment of…

This cross-sectional questionnaire study (n=100) examined whether electrohypersensitivity (EHS) overlaps with high sensory processing sensitivity (HSPS). A higher proportion of HSPS was observed among those reporting EHS symptoms, alongside significant differences in anxiety/depression symptomatology and EMF-related…

This paper examines the radical pair mechanism in cryptochrome, focusing on the tightly bound FAD–superoxide radical pair. It reports that, contrary to traditional expectations, such a closely bound radical pair can show sensitivity to Earth-strength magnetic fields if recombination is strongly asymmetric, invoking…

This in vitro study tested a specific extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on three human osteosarcoma cell lines grown in 2D and 3D spheroid models. The abstract reports that ELF-EMF exposure inhibited proliferation and altered mitochondrial metabolism in the cancer models. It also reports…

This engineering study used electromagnetic field-assisted laser cladding to produce Norem02 iron-based cemented carbide coatings on 304 stainless steel and evaluated microstructure and mechanical-related properties. The abstract reports no change in phase composition but notable microstructural refinement and…

This engineering study addresses stray magnetic fields as a performance-limiting imperfection for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), where simulations indicate sensitivity to fields on the order of 0.1 nT. It presents DC and AC magnetic characterization of two Mumetal® samples (annealed in final form vs…

This paper reports a survey designed to prioritize which RF EMF-related health outcomes should be addressed in systematic reviews. Of 300 experts queried, 164 responded and rated cancer, heat-related effects, adverse birth/pregnancy outcomes, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, cognitive impairment, and oxidative…

This in vitro study evaluated whether high-frequency electromagnetic fields at 900 and 1800 MHz affect bacterial DNA, growth, and antibiotic susceptibility after 2 hours of exposure. The authors report no detectable DNA differences between exposed and non-exposed bacteria for the species described. Growth and…

This in vitro study describes microwave-assisted, green-chemistry synthesis of pH-sensitive chitosan beads crosslinked with a glutamic acid/1,5-pentanodiol mixture and optionally modified with Tilia platyphyllos extract. The beads were characterized (FT-IR, SEM), tested for swelling, pH sensitivity, antioxidant…

This modeling study examines how a noisy spiking neural network detects a weak applied electric field using an Izhikevich neuron framework with excitatory/inhibitory neurons and conduction delays. The authors report stochastic resonance driven by white noise that enhances detectability, and that this effect largely…

This engineering paper demonstrates an auto-tuning method for a high-sensitivity RF interferometer using a tunable liquid attenuator controlled by liquid volume. The authors report an effective quality factor up to 1×10 at ~5 GHz and a self-calibration/measurement process from 2 to 7.5 GHz using a methanol-water…

This computational study used finite element modeling to estimate the electric field distribution in the brain during tDCS for two electrode montages targeting the left DLPFC. It systematically varied isotropic tissue conductivity profiles to assess sensitivity of predicted E-field magnitude and components in the…

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 exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…

This open case study assessed transcranially applied pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) as a potential therapy for multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) in three patients. Two of three patients reported considerable improvements in MCS-related symptoms/functional impairments and reduced capsaicin-induced secondary…
