BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Could structures be built with shock-absorption systems so powerful that jet planes would literally bounce off them? A system modeled in a paper authored by theoretical physicists at ...

A new method to measure the temperature of atoms during the explosive death of a star will help scientists understand the shock wave that occurs as a result of this supernova explosion. An ...

A compact stellar corpse in our own galaxy has just delivered one of the strangest surprises in recent astrophysics: a vast, colorful shock wave apparently blasting out from a white dwarf that was ...

The control of small structures and fast modes needs not only more accurate values in the commonly used dimensions (, u, T, P), but also, in fact more essentially, the controls from more dimensions.

Hypersonic flow and shock wave dynamics represent a critical domain in aerospace science, where the physics of high-speed fluid motion are explored under extreme thermodynamic and chemical conditions.

This may come as a shock, if you're moving fast enough. The shock being shock waves. A balloon's 'pop' is shock waves generated by exploded bits of the balloon moving faster than the speed of sound.

Larger than the Milky Way, this wave managed to form a mysterious hydrogen "recycling plant" in one of space's scariest regions. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate ...

Underwater electrical discharges provide a compelling method for generating intense shock waves and complex fluid dynamics in aquatic environments. These processes occur when high-voltage electrical ...
