This modeling study estimated SAR in a head approaching a 13.56 MHz RFID HF reader, comparing hearing-implant users with non-users. The abstract reports that BAHA implants can increase localized SAR (10 g) versus non-users, up to 2.1× in a worst-case scenario, and that this increase is statistically higher than for…

This engineering study describes using antenna-coupled microwave radiation to enhance laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) emission from a Gd2O3 sample at reduced pressure. The authors report substantially increased plasma emission intensity, higher-temperature plasma, and longer emission lifetime when…
