  2. Piezoelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity

    Piezoelectric balance presented by Pierre Curie to Lord Kelvin, Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. Piezoelectricity (/ ˌ p iː z oʊ-, ˌ p iː t s oʊ-, p aɪ ˌ iː z oʊ-/, US: / p i ˌ eɪ z oʊ-, p i ˌ eɪ t s oʊ-/) [1] is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials—such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA, and various proteins—in ...

  3. Electroporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroporation

    In this case, they looked at the use of reversible electroporation in conjunction with impermeable macromolecules. The first research looking at how nanosecond pulses might be used on human cells was conducted by researchers at Eastern Virginia Medical School and Old Dominion University, and published in 2003. [23]

  4. Pulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_(physics)

    When the pulse reaches the end of that medium, what happens to it depends on whether the medium is fixed in space or free to move at its end. For example, if the pulse is moving through a rope and the end of the rope is held firmly by a person, then it is said that the pulse is approaching a fixed end.

  5. Electromagnetic pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse

    Non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NNEMP) is a weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse without use of nuclear technology. Devices that can achieve this objective include a large low-inductance capacitor bank discharged into a single-loop antenna, a microwave generator, and an explosively pumped flux compression generator.

  6. Pulsed power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_power

    Energy is typically stored as electric potential energy within capacitors, or in the case of explosive pulsed power, as chemical energy.The stored energy is released over a very short time scale resulting in a large amount of power being delivered to a load which can be used to study high energy density physics phenomena such as Inertial confinement fusion using a Z-pinch, and plasma physics ...

  7. Attosecond physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attosecond_physics

    High harmonic generation in krypton.This technology is one of the most used techniques to generate attosecond bursts of light. Attosecond physics, also known as attophysics, or more generally attosecond science, is a branch of physics that deals with light-matter interaction phenomena wherein attosecond (10 −18 s) photon pulses are used to unravel dynamical processes in matter with ...

  8. Pulsed radiofrequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_radiofrequency

    The duty cycle for a pulsed radio frequency is the percent time the RF packet is on, 4.2% for this example ([0.042 ms × 1000 pulses divided by 1000 ms/s] × 100). The pulse packet form can be a square, triangle, sawtooth or sine wave. [1] In several applications of pulse radio frequency, such as radar, [2] times between pulses can be modulated.

  9. Pulsed laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_laser

    Pulsed lasers are also used in soft-tissue surgery. When a laser beam comes into contact with soft-tissue, one important factor is to not overheat surrounding tissue, so necrosis can be prevented. [3] Laser pulses must be spaced out to allow for efficient tissue cooling (thermal relaxation time) between pulses. [3]
