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 ...

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 ...

Fort Lauderdale, Fla.--Sandia National Laboratories physicists Mark Boslough and Dave Crawford predicted the Hubble Space Telescope would see a rising vapor plume as the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet crashed ...

Shock wave studies allow researchers to achieve the warm dense matter that's found only in the extreme conditions around stars and created in the laboratory for inertial confinement fusion research, ...

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.

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.

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 ...
