Chinese scientists discovered that exposure to terahertz waves, which will be used in 6G technology, can cause an increase in brain cells. This has been reported South China Morning Post.
Experiments were done on mice. It turns out that a small dose of terahertz radiation affects the production of certain proteins that stimulate the growth of neurons in the brain.
Although neurons are not damaged by radiation, the effect of 6G waves on the brain still worries scientists, so research will continue. Terahertz waves are known to have a significantly higher frequency than the millimeter waves (MMW) used in 5G.
As an additional cause for concern, scientists selected a 2009 study by the Russian Academy of Sciences. Later, it was found that intense exposure to terahertz radiation for several hours can cause an increase in the temperature of brain cells.
Previously in Skolkovo took the opportunity Develop 6G in Russia, bypassing 5G.
