View Original AbstractWell-controlled study found no effects on yeast cell division from 41.7 GHz EMF at low power densities, contradicting previous positive findings.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to extremely high frequency electromagnetic fields around 41.7 GHz at very low power levels to see if the radiation affected how quickly the cells divided. After careful testing with proper controls, they found no significant differences in cell division rates between exposed and unexposed yeast. This contradicts some earlier studies that claimed to find biological effects from similar EMF exposures.
