Perrin S. Cohen · 1970
Researchers exposed dogs to electric shocks and studied how they learned to time their responses to escape the shock. Dogs had to wait a minimum time before their response would turn off the shock, and they learned to precisely time their actions. Higher shock intensity didn't affect this timing behavior when minimum wait times were required.
Ronald F. Yatteau · 1970
This 1970 case report documented the first known instance of radar interference causing a cardiac pacemaker to malfunction.

Researchers used 2.4 kW of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation to successfully protect corn crops from freezing temperatures for 60 hours during a severe frost event. The microwave energy kept 90% of the corn plants alive and healthy despite temperatures dropping to -6°C (-21°F) and snow cover. This demonstrates that high-power microwave radiation can generate enough heat to protect agricultural crops from frost damage.
