Non-thermal microwave effect

The non-thermal microwave effect refers to the biological and chemical effects induced by microwave radiation that are not solely explained by the thermal (heating) effects that microwaves typically produce. In other words, while conventional microwaves can heat materials and substances, the non-thermal microwave effect suggests that microwaves can influence biological systems at the molecular or cellular level without necessarily generating significant temperature increases. This phenomenon has garnered interest in various fields, including biology, medical research, and food science.
