Researchers report a novel non-thermal mechanism by which sub-terahertz radiation accelerates DNA base pairing in water, providing mechanistic insight into how RF radiation can modulate biomolecular processes without heating.

"We report a non-thermal mechanism by which sub-terahertz (sub-THz) radiation accelerates DNA base pairing in aqueous environment."

โ€” Yamamoto et al., Journal of Chemical Physics

"This study provides mechanistic insight into the physical basis of sub-THz radiation-mediated modulation of nucleic acid structure and dynamics, with implications for the noninvasive manipulation of biomolecular processes."
