W. Grundler’s research while affiliated with Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences and other places

... There were several early reviews of MMW studies beginning in the 1980s that examined subjects like theoretical modeling and possible interaction mechanisms [289][290][291][292][293]. Pakhomov et al. [269] also published an extensive review of MMW research, examining over 300 former Soviet Union Block studies, which had focused primarily on therapeutic/clinical applications of MMWs, as well as about 50 studies from other countries that had focused on public health effects. ...

... Choice of the frequencies was based on the following representations: it was shown that the irradiation with 41.8-42.2 GHz frequencies has a pronounced effect on the biological objects [30,31]: 51.8 GHz frequency is considered to be resonant for water [29]. The chosen time of the irradiation, in turn, was based on our early obtained data, indicating that an hour irradiation exerts the most significantly pronounced effect at the aforementioned frequencies [20,29]. ...

... In the case of frequency resonance, the EMF energy is effectively perceived by the object and may lead to restructuring of its structure and properties. It was described both theoretical and experimental determination of resonant frequencies (from molecules to the whole organism), which is the basis for establishing the primary receptors of biological action of weak EMFs [83][84][85][86]. ...

... Moreover, the practice of irradiating patients with low power density millimetre wave beams as part of the treatment for a variety of medical conditions, ranging from duodenal and peptic ulcers to cancers, has become widespread in the former Soviet Union (Pakhomov et al 1998). However, the mechanisms that may be involved remain the subject of conjecture and published experimental proof that such effects exist at all is far from conclusive (Frohlich 1980, Grundler and Kaiser 1992, Belyaev et al 1993a, Blank 1993, Marani and Feirabend 1993, Belyaev et al 1994, Belyaev et al 1996, Osepchuk and Petersen 1996, Gos et al 1997, Kwee and Rasmark 1998, S Hadjiloucas et al Preece et al 2000). As with any new technology, there may be public concern over possible health effects, especially as terahertz radiation seems to have acquired the rather evocative title 'T-rays'. ...

... In fact, as explained, the differences are several orders of magnitude greater in the case of environmental EMF exposures. This result is in agreement with experimental studies showing that the vast majority of recorded EMF bioeffects are non-thermal (Carpenter and Livstone 1968;Adey 1981;Gründler 1992;Kwee and Raskmark 1998;Velizarov et al. 1999;Panagopoulos et al. 2007a;2007b;2010;and reviews Walleczek 1992;Goodman et al. 1995;Creasey and Goldberg 2001;Belyaev 2005 Wust et al. 2021). Moreover, the above result is in agreement with the suggested mechanism of action of EMFs on cells (Panagopoulos et al. 2000;2015;2020;. ...

... Herbert Froehlich (1968) postulated that quantum coherence is an inherent property of living cells, which utilize it for long-range interaction purposes such as synchronization of cell division processes. However, only scant experimental evidence exists to support these claims (Webb 1980;Grundler & Keilman, 1983). Attention has recently been brought to the quantum mechanical nature of photosynthesis (Arndt, Juffman, & Vendral, 2009;van Grondelle & Novoderezhkin, 2006) where reaction centers capture individual photons and transfer exciton energy by tunneling and thereby avoiding decoherence at room temperatures. ...

... Several investigators have proposed that mm-waves can produce resonance-type responses in macromolecules, although the experimental data on which these theories are based is often weak. For example, in the late 1970s, Grundler et al. [21] reported that exposure to mm-waves caused sharp frequency-dependent effects in the growth rate of yeast; however, this effect could not subsequently be confirmed by other investigators and presumably is an artifact [22]. More recently, Belyaev et al. [23] reported resonance-like effects of mm-waves on bacterial cells, but this has not been independently confirmed. ...

This large gap in the literature on in vitro studies in bioelectromagnetics prevents researchers from determining the importance of the different exposure parameters in their experimental developments and, therefore, the search for mechanisms of action that may help to elucidate the results found in their research. Many hypotheses have been put forward [26,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54], but few conclusions have been drawn from the research articles. ...

... Carew et al., (2014a), (2014b) observed a significant decrease in the native grape yeasts population when using high-power microwaves (1150 W) in grape crushing before fermentation, thus attaining a controlling effect. On starter cultures, MW could exert a beneficial effect if used throughout maceration by increasing the fermentation yield and reducing the lag phase of some yeasts (Carew et al., 2014a(Carew et al., , 2014b, probably as a result of an effect on the growth kinetics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related yeasts (Grundler et al., 1982). These effects are probably the result of power/intensity of MW treatments, as low-power treatment could improve growth kinetics, while highintensity treatment could determine yeasts' death (Pinto et al., 2020). ...
