Scientists tested microwave radiation exposure on a life-sized rhesus monkey model using 1.29 GHz radar signals to measure how energy is absorbed in body tissues. They found that while some areas showed expected surface heating, certain internal regions created dangerous 'hot spots' with three times higher energy absorption than the surface. This reveals how microwave radiation can create unpredictable heating patterns deep inside the body.

Researchers exposed pregnant rats to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (500 μW/cm²) for 20 hours daily during pregnancy. The exposed offspring showed seven times higher death rates, delayed eye opening, temperature regulation problems, and lasting behavioral and growth changes into adulthood. The study demonstrates that prenatal microwave exposure can cause significant developmental problems even when no effects are visible at birth.

Researchers used 915 MHz microwave diathermy on healthy volunteers' thigh muscles while measuring blood flow at different depths. They found blood flow increased dramatically from 2 to 32 ml/min/100g, with deeper muscle tissue showing different response patterns than surface tissue.
