Abstract:
1. A pulse delivery system, comprising: at least two electrodes having sharp surface features, wherein the at least two electrodes are electrically isolated from each other and the sharp features of the electrodes are separated by a distance of about 2 mm to about 20 mm; a pulse generator in electrical communication with said at least two electrodes for delivering pulsed voltage differences between the at least two electrodes, said pulsed voltage differences producing a voltage difference ranging from about 0.5 kV to about 100 kV for a duration of about 1 ns to about 30 μs; and a controller in electrical communication with said pulse generator, said controller comprising a processor, a measurement device in communication with said processor and configured for measuring at least one of a voltage and a current for the at least two electrodes, and a computer readable storage device comprising machine executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
