Super-resolved shear shock focusing in the human head
Shear shocks, which exist in a completely different regime from compressional shocks, were recently observed in the brain. These low phase speed (≈ 2 m/s) high Mach number (≈ 1) waves could be the primary mechanism behind diffuse axonal injury due to a very high local acceleration at the shock front...
