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.

George Duvall, 82, whose groundbreaking work advanced scientists’ understanding of shock-wave physics, died Jan. 6 of unspecified causes. Duvall pioneered the study of shock-wave propagation in solids ...

Physicists predicted the Hubble Space Telescope would see a rising vapor plume as the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet crashed into the far side of Jupiter in 1994. And sure enough, the plume produced by the ...

A new study led by Gérard Liger-Belair, a professor of chemical physics at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne in France, in the field of physics included a celabration favorite: champagne. In ...

So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...
