💡Article spotlight: Physical Interactions Between Millimeter Waves and Human Body: From Macro- to Micro- Scale This paper reviews the interactions and impact of 5G-band frequencies on human skin, updating both recent studies and their own conclusions over the past ten years. Several new results are presented that highlight the effects of skin thickness, age, body curvature, the effect of clothing, and interactions at both the sub-wavelength and subcellular level – micro-scale interactions, that are changing the way we perceive and protect against excessive SAR (specific absorption rate). This is a great update for those just getting into this important area of RF safety as we add more and more RF devices (and potential exposure) within our environment. This paper is part of our July 2024 issue. 📎 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gDwCQsjV 🌐 Topics covered in this article: 5G, millimeter wave (mmW), macro-scale, micro-scale, electromagnetic dosimetry 📝 Authors: Giulia Sacco, Maxim Zhadobov
