Cooled to extremely low temperature, these «superconducting» cavities allow
radiofrequency fields to boost electron energies without electrical resistance — a crucial property for the acceleration of electrons at a rate of up to a million bunches per second.
«Even with generous assumptions about the properties of the radicals, we predict tiny effects of
these radiofrequency fields, and the main conclusion that we come to is that the current understanding of the radical - pair model can't explain any of the reported behavioral results,» says Hore.
And regarding the non-thermal effect, they hold that «to date, research does not suggest any consistent evidence of adverse health effects from exposure to
radiofrequency fields at levels below those that cause tissue heating.»

«The radical - pair mechanism of magnetoreception is still just a hypothesis, and arguably the best evidence we have for it so far is the effect of time - dependent
radiofrequency magnetic
fields on the ability of migratory birds to detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic
field,» says senior author Peter Hore, an Oxford biophysical chemist specializing in magnetic influences on chemical reactions.
However, University of Oxford researchers report October 3 in Biophysical Journal that the current form of this «radical - pair mechanism» is not sensitive enough to explain the disruption of the avian magnetic compass by certain
radiofrequency magnetic
fields, raising new questions about this popular example of quantum biology.
«The use of a
radiofrequency - driven magnetic
field is a big advance in remote gene expression because it is non-invasive and easily adaptable,» says Dordick, who is Howard P. Isermann Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering and vice president of research at Rensselaer.
A drive for high -
field MRI is mediated by the benefits of better image resolution However, tissue heating becomes substantial at higher
fields due to an increase of the
radiofrequency energy absorption.
The researchers found that the
radiofrequency wave for the plasma production, called a helicon wave, is reflected by a local change of the refractive index (contour plot in Fig), which is introduced by the rapidly bent magnetic
field structure (white arrows in Fig).
Magnetic resonance imaging uses a powerful magnetic
field and
radiofrequencies to create images of the pancreas, its ducts, and the surrounding organs.
The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified cell phone use and other
radiofrequency electromagnetic
