Description
Bioelectrics has emerged as a new, exciting research field that deals with the use of electric stimuli and the effect of intense, pulsed electric fields on biological cells and tissue. This is a relatively new field which tries to encompass the manipulation of cells, tissues and organisms by electrical stimulation. With the advances in pulsed power technology, involving the generation of intense, ultrashort electrical pulses, there is an opportunity to explore and utilize the effects of nanosecond electric pulses.
