His talk will focus mainly on how Millimeter waves (MMWs) are mostly absorbed within 1 to 2 millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea, although the fifth-generation telecommunications technology (5G) changed the world upside down. Thus, the skin or near-surface zones of tissues are the primary targets of the radiation. 🎇
