This food science study compared freshly harvested, naturally aged, and RF-treated rice/paddy (Jhelum cultivar) to assess whether RF heating can simulate natural ageing. RF treatment reportedly induced ageing-like microstructural and functional changes similar to naturally aged rice. Reported outcomes included…

This study examined whether exposing maize seeds to electromagnetic fields (23, 70, 118 μT) for 15 days alters physicochemical properties of starch isolated from the resulting grains. SEM and X-ray diffraction results suggest starch morphology and orthorhombic crystalline structure were largely unchanged, though…

This in vitro study compared ginsenosides extracted using pulsed electric field (PEF) versus solvent cold soak extraction (SCSE). The abstract reports that PEF extracts had higher antioxidant capacity and provided greater protection against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in HEK-293 cells, including…

An in vitro study examined red blood cells exposed to an 18 GHz electromagnetic field and assessed uptake of nanospheres. The authors report that EMF exposure enabled nanosphere uptake into RBCs, with different translocation behavior for 23.5 nm versus 46.3 nm particles. Uptake was reported to increase with higher…

Jan 1, 2010
This materials study reports that ZnO nanorod polymer hybrids can form liquid-crystalline phases and exhibit orientation switching under an applied AC electric field. The orientation reportedly changes from planar to homeotropic, analogous to switching in low-molecular liquid crystals. Dielectric measurements and…
Electric field induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions: new insights from WAXS, SEM, leak current, dielectric permittivity, and rheometry.

Jan 1, 2010
This laboratory/engineering study examined electric-field-induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions using WAXS, SEM, rheometry, and electrical measurements. Particle orientation was quantified via an orientational order parameter derived from diffraction peak azimuthal changes, and chain versus column formation was…
