A shock wave is a pressure jump that propagates at supersonic speed. In solids, an impact or other sort of
shock can generate two waves: an “elastic” compression wave followed by a separate, slower “plastic”
wave that irreversibly deforms the material.

Graphene could someday replace silicon as a semiconductor material and make our chips smaller and faster,
except for one tiny detail: it’s been rather hard to mess with its electronic properties. Until now.
“We have experimentally realized and theoretically investigated, for the first time, perfect atomic wires in
graphene,” Ivan Oleynik, one of the two University of South Florida professors behind the discovery, told Wired.com

Recently, at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, N.J. Tao and collaborators have found a way
to make a key electrical component on a phenomenally tiny scale. Their single-molecule diode is described in this
week's online edition of Nature Chemistry.
