  • Abstract
    High-power pulsed microwave radiation, when applied to solutions containing dissolved carbon dioxide (or bicarbonate), hydrogen peroxide, and the soluble organic semi-conductor diazoluminomelanin, generates sound, pulsed luminescence, and electrical discharge. Microbes exposed to these phenomena experienced damage comparable to short-time, high-temperature insults, even though the average and measurable localized temperatures were insufficient to cause the observed effects
