Abstract :
The athermal bioeffects and applications caused by transient electromagnetic pulses were studied by using a broad transverse EM-wave cell (BTEM CELL). The results and mechanism are very different from that of continuous wave. The applications include introduction of foreign DNA into living cells, fusion of cells, insertion of proteins into cell membranes, improving drug delivery and effectiveness in chemotherapy of cancers. The athermal mechanism of transient EM-fields is presented
