So the waves pile up against each other as they are created. These "piled up" waves are called shock waves. The greatest shock waves are at the tip and tail of the plane. This NASA photograph ...

To stand at the edge of an ocean is to face an eternity of waves and water, a shroud covering seven-tenths of the Earth. Hidden below are mountain ranges and canyons that rival anything on land.

Shock waves can be artificially generated by discharge of a high-voltage spark under water. Cardiac SW therapy (CSWT) is performed using a SW generator system designed to address the clinical ...

This results in a shock wave of pressurized air molecules, which form a cone-shaped sheath around and behind the plane. This cone-shaped shock wave wouldn't be a problem if it lost its strength as ...

When a mantis shrimp uses shock waves to strike and kill its prey, how does it prevent those shock waves from damaging its own tissues? Researchers at Northwestern University in the US have answered ...

Solitons and dispersive shock waves are typical coherent structures that are generated. The lab excels at tractable experiments described with sophisticated mathematics. Freshman undergraduate ...

Randomised controlled trials were reviewed to evaluate the evidence of the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the management of tennis elbow. Seven relevant trials were found, which ...
