Bioelectromagnetics

Bioelectromagnetics is when we use invisible energy waves to study the effects they have on living things.

Imagine you have a big rubber ball that you hit with a tennis racket. When you hit the ball, it moves and vibrates in a certain way. Energy waves work the same way, but instead of making a ball move, they make tiny parts of our body, called cells, vibrate in certain ways.

We call these energy waves "electromagnetic" because they are made up of electricity and magnetism. Examples of bioelectromagnetic waves include radiofrequency waves, microwave waves, and x-rays.

Scientists study bioelectromagnetics to learn about how these waves affect the cells in our bodies. They do this by using special tools and machines that can detect and measure the waves. They also use these tools to study how our bodies react to different types of waves.

For example, some scientists study the effects of radiofrequency waves from cell phones. They want to know if these waves are harmful to our bodies or if they can cause cancer. Other scientists study the effects of magnetic fields on our bodies. They want to know if living near power lines can cause health problems.

Overall, bioelectromagnetics is an important area of research that helps us understand how energy waves affect our bodies, and how we can protect ourselves from harm.
