The July 2004 Proceedings of the IEEE is now available online through IEEE Xplore. You can access this issue now if you (or your library) has an account. In this issue on pulsed power, there is an article on our MURI entitled "Research Issues in Developing Compact Pulsed Power for High Peak Power Applications on Mobile Platforms."

See the June 2004 IEEE Spectrum article about (in part) Prof. Karl Schoenbach's research titled "A High-Voltage Fight Against Cancer" in the June issue. The link can be found online here.
