Science Fact or Science Fiction: Teeth & Radio Signals
This is another episode of our occasional feature, Science Fact or Science Fiction. From time to time, we present a commonly held idea or popular saying – and ask a Canadian scientist to set us straight on whether we should believe it or not.
Here’s today’s statement: Braces and tooth fillings can pick up audible radio signals. To help us tune into the answer, we drilled down to Dr. Jacques Albert for his opinion. Dr. Albert is Canada Research Chair in Advanced Photonic Components in the Department of Electronics at Carlton University in Ottawa. He says it could theoretically be science fact – but no one has really studied it.
