Pulsed Power is primarily an enabling technology. Continuous development of devices and respective know-how has always motivated and initiated novel approaches and concepts, often in fields that were not readily anticipated. This is seen in particular for applications in medicine and biotechnology but also other areas. Examples are excimer lasers and plasmas in general that are generated by pulsed discharges and are for example used for decontamination of air and water but also for the synthesis of nanomaterials. Pulsed electric field treatments have instigated new medical therapies especially for tumor therapies but have also been successfully introduced in the processing of food crops, e.g. potatoes and wine. Other emerging applications are found for the generation of biofuels or the extraction of valuable compounds from algae. This special session is giving an overview on possibilities and recent advances for applications that rely on Pulsed Power technologies.
