Juming Tang and Shaojin Wang at Washington State University (WSU) with colleagues at the University of California-Davis and USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Parlier, California, since RF energy generates heat through agitation of bound water molecules, it generates heat through ionic conduction and agitation of free water molecules in insects.
Researchers Juming Tang and Shaojin Wang at WSU, working with colleagues from UC-Davis and the USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Parlier, California, have been exploring how RF energy affects insects. The process involves heat generation through ionic conduction and molecular agitation of both bound and free water.
