The journal Science is reporting that two studies claiming that radiation from cell
phones can cause DNA damage are fraudulent.
The physics behind the interaction of radiation and matter tells us that cell phones cannot

to find out why.
Cellphones are causing more and more cancer!
We examine what a scientific theory is and how it differs from the usual English meaning of the word.
Claims of cell phones causing brain cancer are becoming common. An examination of the basic properties
of electromagnetic radiation and suntanning shows that this cannot be true.
