Exploding electrical wires underwater to understand shock waves

Shock wave studies allow researchers to achieve the warm dense matter that's found only in the extreme conditions around stars and created in the laboratory for inertial confinement fusion research, and researchers recently set out to understand the relation, if any, between the evolution of a shock wave and the expansion of the exploding wire.
