This chemistry/engineering study reports the synthesis and NMR/MRI-relevant characterization of a trinuclear Gd(III) chelate intended for high-field MRI contrast applications. Using 17O NMR and proton relaxivity across multiple fields and temperatures, the authors infer bishydration, quantify water exchange and…

This study tested whether GSM-like RF exposure affects resting human EEG, focusing on alpha band power and non-linear EEG features. Using a fully counterbalanced cross-over design with 12 participants and a dipole antenna intended to better resemble handset exposure, the authors found no changes after 15 minutes of…
Ultranarrow optical absorption and two-phonon excitation spectroscopy of Cu2O paraexcitons in a high magnetic field.

Jan 1, 2007
This physics study reports ultranarrow optical absorption and two-phonon excitation spectroscopy of Cu2O paraexcitons in a high magnetic field at 1.2 K. A magnetic field enabled observation of an otherwise forbidden paraexciton absorption line and allowed measurement of field-dependent oscillator strength and energy…

Jan 1, 2004
This narrative review discusses potential public health consequences of widespread mobile phone use and the controversy around long-term cancer risks. It states that evidence from epidemiological and experimental studies suggests long-term exposure to mobile phone emissions may be linked to a small to moderate…
Headaches from cellular telephones: are they real and what are the implications?
Research

Mar 1, 1998
This review discusses reports of headaches occurring with hand-held cellular telephone use and argues they are likely real and attributable to telephone emissions. It points to earlier reports of headaches from low-intensity microwave exposure and proposes biological plausibility via effects on the blood-brain…
