This article discusses tabletop high-throughput laser experiments on shock waves in solids
and liquids, where the more usual laser pump pulse is replaced by a 0.5 mm diameter laser …

Although shock experiments are traditionally performed in large facilities, tabletop
experiments that provide convenient high-throughput shock testing have been growing in …

Understanding and predicting the bond breaking mechanism of energetic materials before
explosion initiation is one of the huge challenges in explosion science. By means of the …

Cryptomelane K-OMS-2 is a manganese oxide that occurs in low temperature geologic
environments and is readily synthesized in the lab. A reflux method was used to prepare …

In operando studies of high explosives involve dynamic extreme conditions produced as a
shock wave travels through the explosive to produce a detonation. Here, we describe a …

Goethite (α-FeOOH) is an iron-oxyhydroxide mineral that is commonly found in soils and is
of importance within the context of industrial mineralogy and aqueous geochemistry. The …

Experiments are performed for studying the process of shock wave initiation of detonation in
pure tetranitromethane and its mixtures with acetone, nitrobenzene, and methanol. The …
