Why it matters
This research helps alleviate long-standing public health concerns regarding the safety of ubiquitous wireless technology.
The ubiquitous presence of smartphones in our daily lives has led to concerns about
A new study has debunked fears that electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones increase a person's risk of developing cancer in the head, neck or brain.
