This engineering study describes an experimental setup using a small electret condenser microphone connected to a notebook/PC to detect extremely low frequency signals. Using a small air cell made from a drilled DVD plate with a speaker and microphone on opposite sides, the microphone captured signals in the 0.5–20…

This paper presents a theoretical model of giant phospholipid vesicle deformation in an alternating-current electric field, based on minimizing membrane bending energy and electric-field energy. The model treats the membrane and surrounding aqueous media as leaky dielectrics and reports good quantitative agreement…

This engineering/food science study examined ohmic heating of peaches at 60 V/cm using bipolar pulses across frequencies from 50 Hz to 1 MHz. Heating time to a target temperature and multiple electrical properties were frequency-dependent, particularly for intact tissue. The authors report faster electro-thermal…

This study evaluated high-intensity pulsed electric fields (HIPEF) as a processing method to inactivate polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in strawberry juice. Using response surface methodology at a constant electric field of 35 kV/cm, the authors report strong PPO reductions across tested parameter ranges. Bipolar mode,…

This theoretical study models electron spin resonance and spin/charge pumping in zigzag graphene nanoribbons driven by a transverse rotating magnetic field without applied bias. It reports that pumped spin current density increases with ribbon size and rotating-field intensity, and that even-chain ribbons can also…

This SCENIHR Opinion updates earlier 2009 SCENIHR documents on EMF health effects and research needs, focusing on new information and remaining knowledge gaps. The abstract primarily characterizes sources and patterns of exposure across static, ELF, IF, and RF fields in both public and occupational settings. It notes…

This paper studies the spin-glass transition in a magnetic field using a diluted one-dimensional long-range Ising model with distance-dependent bond probability. The authors report evidence for a spin-glass transition in a magnetic field both within and beyond the mean-field regime. They also report such evidence for…

This paper reports calculations of interlayer electrical and thermal resistivity in a layered metal assuming Fermi-liquid quasiparticles inelastically scattered by two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. The model yields linear-in-temperature behavior over a broad range and suggests that extrapolations…

This in vitro study reports that shortwave (MHz-range) RF exposure can induce strong cytotoxicity in EGFR-overexpressing human cancer cells when those cells have internalized cetuximab-targeted gold nanoparticles. Control nanoparticles showed minimal uptake and substantially lower cytotoxicity under RF exposure. An…

This exposure assessment measured peak magnetic fields during magnetic particle inspection, a nondestructive testing method that uses electromagnetism. Ninety-five peak measurements taken while inspecting 8 turbine engine shafts ranged from

This study reports on symptomatology and risk perception among 45 people living near power-lines in the Benevento area. Although measured electric and magnetic fields were described as being within the normal range, participants reported symptoms mainly in subjective and behavioural domains. The authors argue that…

This engineering study examines multi-wall carbon nanotubes suspended in water exposed to AC electric fields generated by 3D electrodes. It reports field-induced polarization leading to nanotube alignment and long-range, electrically conducting assemblies spanning the electrode gap, with assembly length controlled by…

This paper studies chaotic mixing driven by breakup and reformation of a magnetic particle chain under a rotating magnetic field using direct numerical simulation. The authors report that chain motion and the degree of chaos depend strongly on the Mason number, and that a limited Mason number range produces repeated…
