American company Boom Supersonic just broke the sound barrier with a civilian plane. What exactly is supersonic travel, and ...

When aircraft break the sound barrier, they produce shock waves that reverberate through the surrounding air and produce the thunderous sonic booms typically associated with supersonic flight.

NASA will soon test advancements made on a key tool for measuring the unique "sonic thumps" that its quiet supersonic X-59 research aircraft will make while flying. A shock-sensing probe is a cone ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves—found throughout the universe—are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. The research, published in ...

While officials have not said how many people died or were injured, the crash has already taken an emotional toll on the local communities.

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves -- found throughout the universe -- are able to accelerate particles to extreme speeds. Scientists have come a ...

Compressible vortex dynamics and shock wave interactions are critical areas of study in fluid mechanics, particularly in understanding how shock waves behave in various environments and their ...

This field examines how shock waves interact with turbulent flows, which can significantly affect the performance and stability of various systems. Recent research has focused on understanding the ...
