Snapshots of the structure of a DNA strand in liquid water, impacted by shock waves induced by a carbon and an iron ion in the Bragg peak region. a–c times 0, 5 and 10 ps, respectively, for carbon in water, and d–f times 0, 5 and 10 ps, respectively, for iron in water (de Vera et al. 2017a). Only a small fraction of the real simulation box is shown here for clarity, see the text
