Non-thermal disruption of β-adrenergic receptor-activated Ca signalling and apoptosis in human ES-derived cardiomyocytes by microwave electric fields at 2.4 GHz.

The ubiquity of wireless electronic-device connectivity has seen microwaves emerge as one of the fastest growing forms of electromagnetic exposure. A growing evidence-base refutes the claim that wireless technologies pose no risk to human health at current safety levels designed to limit thermal (heating) effects. The potential impact of non-thermal effects of microwave exposure, especially in electrically-excitable tissues (e.

On the Use of Carbon Cables from Plastic Solvent Combinations of Polystyrene and Toluene in Carbon Nanotube Synthesis.

For every three people on the planet, there are approximately two Tonnes (Te) of plastic waste. We show that carbon recovery from polystyrene (PS) plastic is enhanced by the coaddition of solvents to grow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by liquid injection chemical vapour deposition. Polystyrene was loaded up to 4 wt% in toluene and heated to 780 °C in the presence of a ferrocene catalyst and a hydrogen/argon carrier gas at a 1:19 ratio.
