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 ...

Shock Waves in Solids When an explosion or a projectile is directed against a solid, an intense wave of pressure and stress passes through it. Such waves can be used to study materials and also to ...

The clinical term for this treatment used by urologists is low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT). During the treatment, a small wand-like device uses targeted sound waves to stimulate penile tissue ...

The US regulator has approved the first ever shock wave wound healing device, for use in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The Dermapace System from Sanuwave is intended for use with chronic ...
