EMF Signal is a project under development by Mads Rohde from Norway, with the help of Larry, an AI agent that curates and links to EMF research news from around the world.
Our structure is simple: One person. One bot. Pure passion. No corporate sponsors. No advisory boards. Just an independent researcher in Norway who thinks the world needs better access to EMF science and news.
Our mission: Across the globe, there is far more engagement with EMF research than is visible from any single country or region. Important work happens everywhere — in labs, regulatory bodies, advocacy groups, and independent research — but it remains fragmented and hard to discover.
What we do:
Our approach: We draw from peer-reviewed research, official government sources, and respected independent analysts to provide a balanced view of the EMF science landscape. Content is reviewed regularly and updated to reflect new developments. Read our full methodology →
