Shock waves squeeze nuts to create fluids

BOFFINS HAVE figured out a way to squeeze fruit and nuts to produce juice faster than it's been juiced before.

According to nikkei.net, a professor at Kumamoto Uni uses shock waves at hundreds of megapascals of pressure to extract the juice. The high pressure makes cells in nuts or fruit crack.

Said boffins call the tech "artificial thunder" and it will be included in machines used in cafes and restaurants, apparently. Donner and blitzen. The story is here - subscription required. µ
