一 | The same technology that may power the next generation of mobile networks has been shown to increase the growth of brain cells in mice, according to a new study from Xian Jiaotong University in Beijing.,Radio waves in the terahertz frequency can transmit data at speeds up to 1 terabit (or 125 gigabytes) per second, it is a prime candidate for the next generation of mobile cell phone networks if it can be proven safe. By contrast, current 5G networks use millimeter waves that top out at 20 gigabits (2.5 gigabytes) per second.,But there may be another use for terahertz radio waves: treatment of neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, autism, and Parkinson’s disease.,Science & Tech'Vicious Cycle' Between Alzheimer's Dementia and Daytime Napping Found by Scientists17 March, 19:05 GMT,The researchers exposed mice neurons in a petri dish to 100-microwatt pulse radiation, ranging from 0.3 terahertz to 3 terahertz. The result was that the exposed neurons grew at a rate of 150% compared to the control group. The length of connections also doubled in three days. Despite the accelerated growth, the brain cells appeared healthy.,The accelerated brain growth was not permanent; it slowed two days after exposure.,However, a 2009 study by the Russian Academy of Sciences showed that prolonged exposure to strong terahertz radiation had an adverse effect, increasing the temperature of brain cells, disturbing their development and causing dehydration of the cells which reduces their size and causes other damage.,But Li Xiaoli, the lead scientist of the new Beijing study, thinks that the negative effects of terahertz radiation could be avoided by limiting the strength and duration of exposure.,“The safety of terahertz radiation protocol is a top concern,” Li said. And while the health concerns of terahertz radiation remain, it could, Li believes, be used to treat neurological disorders.,“Abnormal neuron development and the resulting abnormal neural network structure can lead to the occurrence of various psychiatric and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism and Parkinson’s disease,” the study’s authors said.,The authors believe that a lower dose of terahertz radiation could increase the production and the activity of certain proteins responsible for brain cell growth, namely GluA1, GluN1, and SY-38. The researchers theorize that is because they contain hydrogen bonds that constantly vibrate at a frequency that falls in the terahertz range. The radio waves combine with the proteins and cause them to resonate in a “non-linear manner,” according to Li, which could “affect the shape of the proteins, and therefore the structure and function of neurons.”However, because proteins vary significantly from each other, only certain proteins are affected by the terahertz radiation at low frequencies. Li says more investigation is needed to learn how proteins react to different exposure intensities.,The study backs up another done at the Institute of Brain Science at Xian Jiaotong University that was published in June. That study found that terahertz exposure could make young mice more intelligent. There, scientists exposed mice to 90-milliwatt terahertz radiation for 20 minutes a day for three weeks. They observed that the exposed mice had more brain cells and were quicker at escaping mazes. However, for reasons that remain unclear, the same effect was not observed in older mice.。 The ongoing tensions in West Asia between the US-Israel alliance and Iran have sparked conversations far beyond the region, with ripple effects being felt in places like the UAE and India despite no direct involvement. Amid reports that Donald Trump is looking to initiate peace talks with Iran, Boman Irani added a humorous twist to the situation, jokingly offering to step in as a mediator alongside Smriti Irani and Aruna Irani. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Boman Irani (@boman_irani) He took to Instagram to share a video, captioning it, “The Iranis are ready for peace talks with Mr. Donald Trump.” In the clip, he says, “So, as you may know, it’s going viral that Mr Donald Trump wants to speak to the Iranis. And three people have been beckoned. Talks are happening with Smriti ji, Aruna Irani ji, and me, Boman Irani. So, I am ready. I am ready to do anything for peace.” Adding his own comic conditions to the imagined meeting, Boman says, “I have only one problem, I won’t go to Washington. I think it would be best if Trump sahab and his delegation come to Dadar Parsi Colony. We'll feed them dhansak, custard and other food. But if they bring along a big gas cylinder, I think it’ll make life very smooth for all of us.” He ends the video with a sarcastic smile and a thumbs-up. On the work front, Boman made his directorial debut in 2025 with The Mehta Boys, where he also starred alongside Avinash Tiwary and Shreya Chaudhry. He has also been seen in projects like Detective Sherdil and Tanvi The Great, and began this year with The Raja Saab featuring Prabhas. Up next, he has Raja Shivaji with Riteish Deshmukh and Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 in the pipeline.Also Read: WATCH: Boman Irani Sings Give Me Sunshine for Anupam Kher on His 72nd Birthday。
