Grok’s Pick: The Best Anti-Radiation Phone Case in a Sea of Scams and Half-Measures
Independent Voices
RF Safe
Dec 10, 2025
An RF Safe blog post written in a first-person “Grok” voice argues that many anti-radiation phone cases are ineffective or can increase exposure by causing phones to boost transmit power. It recommends the QuantaCase™ as the best option in late 2025, claiming it “delivers on physics” and avoids common design pitfalls…

Jan 1, 2025
This PRISMA-adherent systematic review searched PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies (2017–2024) on physiological or behavioral responses to EMF exposure, emphasizing studies reporting harmful or concerning effects. Across 24 included studies (human non-randomized, in vitro, and animal), the review…
The effects of short-term and long-term 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation on adult rat auditory brainstem response
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This animal study examined 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation exposure effects on auditory brainstem responses and brain oxidative/ultrastructural markers in adult rats. The 1-week exposure group showed prolonged ABR latencies and biochemical/structural changes consistent with oxidative stress and cellular injury. The…

Jan 1, 2025
This laboratory study exposed cultured Phaeocystis globosa to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) at 0, 0.2, and 1 mT for 24 hours. The authors report increased cell density, photosynthesis, and chlorophyll a under ELF-EMF, alongside decreased protein and carbohydrate accumulation. Metabolomic…
Impact of various electromagnetic fields on the transdermal permeability of naproxen and the effect of active compound exposure on magnetic field properties.
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This ex vivo study tested whether different magnetic-field modalities change transdermal delivery of naproxen through pigskin. Rotating magnetic fields (RMF) at 50 Hz produced the greatest increase in permeation metrics versus a no-EMF control, while negatively polarized static fields reduced permeation.…
