EMFSA January 2026 News Updates – In this edition, we explore current research gaps and expert evaluations on RF-EMF and 5G, including the latest findings from the WHO Systematic Reviews, national reports, and recent expert commentary. A Brief Look at What Different Countries and Groups State: BERENIS – Swiss expert group on electromagnetic fields and...Read More

5G Frequency Range 2 (FR2), commonly known as millimeter-wave (mmWave), operates within the 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz spectrum range. While mmWave has been used for decades in applications requiring high frequency and bandwidth, its integration into 5G networks represents a new phase in mobile communication. Historically, mmWave technology has been applied in radar systems...Read More

What kind of modulation happens in nature? In hummingbirds, it’s created by movement and friction — and sensed by mites evolved to detect it. Image adapted from a photo by James Wainscoat on Unsplash. García-Robledo et al. (2025) showed that hummingbird flower mites detect and respond to modulated electric fields generated by hummingbirds, using electroreception...Read More

Autism, Circadian Disruption and Pregnancy form a triad that deserves closer attention, as emerging evidence suggests that disruptions to the mother’s circadian rhythm during pregnancy may influence the risk of autism spectrum disorders in offspring. Blue light exposure at night can disrupt the mother’s circadian rhythm — a factor increasingly linked to fetal development and...Read More

A recent 5G research study on the effects of future signals on human skin cells was announced with great fanfare. It was quickly followed by attention-grabbing headlines claiming that the study proves—once and for all—that “5G is absolutely safe.” This post is a response to both the research paper and the surrounding media coverage. A...Read More

Antibiotic use in mammalian skin cell cultures is a common method to prevent microbial contamination during laboratory experiments. However, growing evidence suggests that antibiotics—particularly streptomycin—can significantly alter cellular processes such as gene expression, mitochondrial function, and epigenetic regulation. In studies exploring subtle biological effects, such as those triggered by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) or radiation, these...Read More

Infographic: Artificial Light at Night & Breast Cancer Risk – In our modern world, exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN)—from streetlights to smartphone screens—is nearly unavoidable. But could this seemingly harmless light be affecting our long-term health? Published on May 5, 2025 Dr. Mortazavi recently summarized these findings: Dr. Alireza Mortazavi – LinkedIn Post...Read More
