New Nonthermal Mechanism

“Non-Thermal Acceleration of DNA Base Pairing by Sub-Terahertz Irradiation,” Journal of Chemical Physics, February 10, 2026.

“We report a non-thermal mechanism by which sub-terahertz (sub-THz) radiation accelerates DNA base pairing in aqueous environment.”

“This study provides mechanistic insight into the physical basis of sub-THz radiation-mediated modulation of nucleic acid structure and dynamics, with implications for the noninvasive manipulation of biomolecular processes.”
