January 1, 2013 New Technique To Study The Impact Of Cell Phone
Radiation A metal-free antenna may help scientists find out,
once and for all, whether cell phones cause cancer. PopSci
reports. Researchers from Princeton have designed an antenna
that emits radio frequencies in the same way as cell phones, but
doesn’t include any of a phone’s pesky metal parts. They’ve
already put the antenna next to a cow’s brain inside an MRI and
tracked the resulting hot spots in the brain. In the future, the
antenna system should allow scientists to build an accurate 3-D
map of cell phone radiation in the human brain--a crucial step
in determining how much energy the organ is exposed to at a
time, and whether those little doses might add up to a real
threat. Read full article. Image: Electro-Magnetic Model
Electro-magnetic waves from the phone’s antenna penetrate the
brain several centimeters deep. Paul Wootton The Permanent Link
