Electrokinesis is one of several terms used to refer to the movement of ionized particles in relation to the application of an electrical current or charge. (See -kinesis for explanation and further uses of the kinesis suffix.) It was first documented in physic by Thomas Townsend Brown in 1921 and was later refined in scientific term during the 1930s in conjunction with Dr. Paul Alfred Biefeld. Electrokinesis has also been observed in biology, where it was found to cause physical damaged to neurons by inciting movement in their membranes[1][1]. It is also discussed in R.J.Elul's "Fixed charge in the cell membrane" (1967).
