  • Abstract
    Coulomb explosion of a gas cluster invariably produces shocks of infinite density; a pair of shocks forms a shock-shell that eventually encompasses the entire cluster. This first example of nm-size shock waves promises several new effects, including nuclear reactions inside exploding clusters.
