Abstract

The article presents a simple expression of the power transferred from the electromagnetic field (EMF) to a biological nanomachine (NM) embedded in a background medium (BM). The expression is useful to analyse the interaction mechanism and test the hypothesis on its nature. Furthermore, it should represent a helpful tool to design remotely controlled NMs for bio‐medical applications and the relative electromagnetic control apparatuses. Finally, to show its practical usefulness, we used it to discuss the hypothesis on the energy transfer mechanism proposed in the literature to explain intriguing experimental phenomena referring to the remotely controlled dehybridization of DNA molecules attached to gold nanocrystals.

Microwave exposure under &&athermal'' conditions occurs when no temperature rise can be measured by conventional thermometry. The existence of biological e!ects arising from the athermal exposure is still controversial, partly because of a lack of the linear dose response relation. We propose a mode
