Researchers discover collisionless shock waves as cosmic engines accelerating subatomic particles in space to extreme speeds.

When a mantis shrimp uses shock waves to strike and kill its prey ... The most surprising result, Espinosa tells Physics World, was the formation of a flat branch around the 450 to 480 MHz range, ...

In a fun experiment, Max Koch, a researcher at the University of Göttingen in Germany—who also happens to be passionate about ...

This is termed relativistic speeds—where particles are moving so fast that the usual laws of physics (like regular ... can be accelerated by these shock waves, they need to contain a certain ...
