This paper reviews current research in high-power picosecond electronics, a branch of experimental engineering physics which critically
depends on national priority research projects for its dynamic development. The aim of the review is basically to show progress in the
study of picosecond processes involved in the accumulation, commutation and transformation of high-density electric power. Examples
are presented to demonstrate what the latest built high-voltage picosecond facilities will potentially fundamentally contribute to
developments in generating unique-property high-power electron beams and electromagnetic radiation pulses.
