摘要

Microwaves may be great at warming up leftovers, but what about warming people? Using microwaves to directly heat occupants of a room would allow significant lowering of a home's thermostat, saving much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furnishings. And despite popular notions about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Buffler of the Microwave Research Center in Marl-borough, New Hampshire.
