This in vitro study reports that a static magnetic field (SMF) combined with paramagnetic calcium-polypyrrole nanoparticles (Ca-PPy) markedly increases bactericidal activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The authors attribute the enhanced killing to increased reactive oxygen species generation and associated…

This animal study examined whether EMF from a 90 kHz magnetic-coupling resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) system affects mouse cognition and hippocampal neuronal excitability. Mice were exposed for 2, 4, or 8 weeks and assessed with a Novel Object Recognition test and dentate gyrus patch-clamp recordings. The…

This online survey experiment tested whether risk-communication strategies affect public acceptance of 5G base stations amid health-related EMF concerns in China. Government and industry sources increased support more than civil society sources, and gain-framed messages increased acceptance more than loss-framed…

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) polarity and directional migration at wound edges. EMF-treated cells showed increased asymmetric redistribution of the polarity marker β-COP and altered γ-tubulin localization at wound margins. The…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure alters responses of TNF-α-stimulated human microglial cells (HMC3). Cells exposed to 2.5 or 5 Hz EMF for 3 minutes showed increased survival under high TNF-α conditions and reduced migration compared with TNF-α treatment alone. EMF also…

This in vitro/ex vivo study tested whether different magnetic-field configurations alter ketoprofen properties and its transdermal delivery in porcine skin using Franz diffusion cells. The authors report no change in ketoprofen molecular structure, but subtle changes in crystal structure and physicochemical…

This in vitro study examined ELF-EMF effects in normal cybrids and NARP cybrids carrying a pathogenic MT-ATP6 mtDNA mutation mixture. ELF-EMF did not alter mtDNA copy number or the wild-type-to-mutant mtDNA ratio, but it increased mtDNA transcription and multiple markers of mitochondrial function in NARP cybrids,…

This engineering study evaluates electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment as a nonchemical method to control gypsum and silica scaling in reverse osmosis using synthetic brackish water and real RO concentrate. It reports EMF altered gypsum crystal morphology to form a more porous scale that was easier to remove with…

This narrative review discusses how electric and magnetic field technologies are applied in agriculture and how plants may respond. It proposes a model to explain potential mechanistic convergence between electric and magnetic field effects. The review highlights several suggested mechanisms, including membrane…

This protocol describes the third wave of the HERMES prospective adolescent cohort in Switzerland, with follow-up every four months and at one year. The study will assess electronic media use, modeled RF-EMF and transportation noise exposures, and a range of outcomes including cognition, behavior, sleep, mental…

This rodent study examined whether 2.45 GHz Wi‑Fi router RF-EMF exposure could mitigate heat-stress-related reproductive damage in male rats. The combined RF-EMF + heat group reportedly had improved testicular structure measures and sperm quality versus heat-only, while RF-EMF alone was also reported to alter testis…

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 tested a 50 Hz, 1.3 mT sinusoidal electromagnetic field applied for 15 or 30 minutes to ARPE-19 retinal pigment epithelial cells and RGC-5 retinal ganglion cells. The authors report improved proliferative and migratory capacity after EMF exposure, alongside increased HO-1 and altered RNA…
