What changes when researchers test Aires technology? Two 2026 publications answer that question at different scales. One team imaged the patterned silicon wafer through a heating cycle. Another recorded brain activity while participants used a mobile phone with Lifetune ONE.
Two original studies you can read
What changed on the silicon? Gennadi Lukyanov and Sergei Makarov of ITMO University found that the etched center emitted infrared radiation more efficiently than the smooth edge of the same wafer during heating. You can see the contrast in Figure 7 of their open-access paper in Springer’s 2026 ICICT conference proceedings. See Figure 7 · DOI 10.1007/978-3-032-28964-3_5.
What changed in people? Vladimir Sysoev and Dzhina Budko of the S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy measured electrical activity across the scalp during mobile-phone exposure with Lifetune ONE. They reported that after an initial activation, EEG activity moved back toward baseline. The acute table covers 14 participants. At the seven-day follow-up, the authors reported greater slow-wave coherence in seven participants. Their peer-reviewed paper appeared in Psychophysiology News, issue 1, pages 95–104.

Who conducted and funded the Aires research?
The Aires research Foundation dates to 1998. Igor Serov founded it in St. Petersburg, fourteen years before the Canadian commercial company, American Aires Inc., was incorporated in Ontario in 2012. Igor and Dimitry Serov established the company to develop and bring the technology to market. The Foundation’s financial history traces the project to a predecessor in 1992 and records its reorganization in 2015 under the Human Genome Research Foundation name. Company filing, Description of Business · Foundation financial report, page 1.
Who paid for the work? The Foundation’s report lists founder funds, donations and proceeds from product sales over the life of the project through 2017. In October 2017 the Foundation and American Aires signed an R&D agreement providing for company reimbursement of agreed projects. That agreement identifies two separate organizations and a financial relationship. For an individual experiment, the best evidence is the named customer, funding disclosure or project agreement. Read the filed agreement, sections 2.3, 4 and 6.
One early report puts that history in perspective. From December 2001 to March 2002, the neurophysiology and psychophysiology laboratory at the V. M. Bekhterev Institute tested optical filters with a fractal pattern. The report describes EEG recordings with the filters and placebo spectacles and counts 54 patients examined across the study. This was a visual-stimulation experiment, a decade before American Aires Inc. existed. For the later experiment with a phone and Lifetune ONE, see the human EEG section below. Read the original Bekhterev report, pages 2–3.
The original records show how those roles differ. The Vilnius report names its commercial customer and the laboratory that took the measurements. The rat paper lists university and Pavlov Institute researchers alongside a Foundation coauthor. Springer lists two ITMO University authors for the 2026 infrared experiment. In the human EEG paper, the two Military Medical Academy authors declare no conflicts of interest, and the journal records its own review and acceptance dates. Each publication below links to the people, methods and results behind it.
What the engineers modeled and the camera recorded
Gennadi Lukyanov, Alexander Kopyltsov and Igor Serov calculated how a patterned semiconductor surface responds to an incoming electromagnetic wave. They modeled how the ring geometry distributes electric charge unevenly beneath the surface. Springer lists affiliations with ITMO University, Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation and the Human Genome Research Foundation, respectively. Springer published the chapter online in 2022 in the proceedings of the Seventh International Congress on Information and Communication Technology. Read the original simulation, DOI 10.1007/978-981-19-1607-6_7.
To test a physical wafer, Lukyanov and Makarov compared the etched center and smooth outer region of the same wafer through a heating and cooling cycle. During heating the center appeared warmer in the infrared image. The authors attributed the contrast to higher emissivity, the ability of the surface to emit infrared radiation at a given temperature. Figure 7 shows the contrast. That result gives another laboratory a concrete measurement to repeat on a physical sample. See the thermal images in the 2026 Springer paper, DOI 10.1007/978-3-032-28964-3_5.
A separate Vilnius laboratory series measured radiofrequency field strength at defined receiver positions with a prototype in front of the transmitter. The Phase I report identifies UAB AIRESLITA as the customer and the Laboratory of Photovoltaic Technology in Vilnius as the test site. It names Professor Artūras Jukna and laboratory head Dainius Jasaitis. Figure 5 shows why the source, power and distance belong alongside a field-strength result.

What researchers measured in people using a mobile phone
Vladimir Sysoev and Dzhina Budko of the S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy used a GSM phone near the right ear and recorded electrical activity from the scalp. With Lifetune ONE present, they reported an initial activation followed by a return toward the participants’ background EEG. After seven days, they reported greater coherence in slow-wave activity. Coherence describes how consistently electrical signals from different scalp sites vary together.
The paper’s abstract describes 24 young men, its acute EEG table covers 14, and seven took part in the follow-up. On page 104 the authors declare no conflicts of interest. The journal records approval after peer review in April 2026 and acceptance in May. The paper gives no separate funding declaration. The recordings, methods and results appear on pages 95–104 of Psychophysiology News.

What the Wi-Fi experiment found in rat cells
Natalya Dyuzhikova and colleagues, including researchers at the Pavlov Institute of Physiology, counted chromosome abnormalities in dividing rat bone-marrow cells. In the more excitable rat line, the frequency was 9.8% with the router alone and 2.7% with the router and six Aires resonators. Exposure lasted six hours a day for four days. The authors identified the rat line, router, enclosure and placement, all of which matter to anyone trying to reproduce the result. The paper lists five affiliations, including the Pavlov Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, three universities and the Aires Human Genome Foundation. Igor Serov is the Foundation coauthor. Read the 2019 Ecological Genetics paper, DOI 10.17816/ecogen17283-92.
Which research did PACE peer-review?
The Planetary Association for Clean Energy (PACE) published expert peer reviews of specific Aires research documents. For example, Andrew Michrowski examined Rybina and Alexandrov’s EEG report, discussed the reported movement toward background activity and recommended longer follow-up. He also reviewed a separate 2.4 GHz field calculation. Reading the original alongside the review lets you see exactly which finding the reviewer evaluated.

Questions about peer-reviewed Aires research
How are the Aires Foundation and American Aires Inc. related?
The research Foundation dates to 1998. American Aires Inc., the Canadian commercial company, was incorporated in 2012. A 2017 agreement provides for company reimbursement of agreed Foundation research projects. The original study reports separately identify the investigators, laboratory, publication venue and, where disclosed, the customer or funder.
Is there a peer-reviewed human study of Aires technology?
Yes. Vladimir Sysoev and Dzhina Budko published a study of Lifetune ONE during GSM phone exposure in Psychophysiology News in 2026. They measured electrical activity in the brain, including an acute EEG comparison and a seven-day follow-up.
What did the thermal camera measure?
The researchers compared infrared emission from etched and smooth regions of the same silicon wafer as it was heated and cooled. They attributed the stronger emission from the etched center during heating to higher emissivity.
What did PACE peer-review?
PACE published expert reviews of individual research documents, including a human EEG report and a calculation of the electromagnetic field around a resonator. Both the original reports and the corresponding reviews are available in the Aires archive.
