title: The mechanisms of athermal microwave biological effects.
abstract: A brief survey of current ideas about the physical mechanisms of low-level millimeter/microwave-biological effects is given, and the experimental evidence supporting these ideas is reviewed. The conjectural models do not yet represent a complete physical theory, but they do counter the idea that low-level effects are physically impossible and suggest experiments.
