Monica Day explored the power of air pressure at COSI with educator Joe Wood, demonstrating how a wooden stool can be lifted ...

The article provides a comprehensive review of the current progress and future prospects of high-pressure-driven chemical synthesis, offering constructive guidance for the design and development of ...

Researchers have developed new nanoscale technology to image and measure more of the stresses and strains on materials under high pressures. Researchers have developed new nanoscale technology to ...

Over the last 60 years, the diamond anvil cell (DAC) has emerged as the tool of choice in high pressure science because materials can be studied at megabar pressures using X-ray and spectroscopic ...

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally observed when materials are cooled down to extremely low temperatures. In ...

Inspired by exotic materials in diamonds coughed up by volcanoes, scientists have found a new way to study materials under extreme pressure. Researchers trap materials within the pores of glassy ...

Small, shiny flecks of carbon discovered in rocks in Arizona’s Canyon Diablo in 1967 may have been chemically identical to conventional diamonds, but physically they were strikingly different. The ...

Gold has a reputation for being one of the most stable, predictable elements in the periodic table, but under crushing pressures and searing temperatures it turns out to be anything but simple. By ...

Writing for The Conversation and republished below, University of Virginia sociologist Fiona Greenland and her colleague, Michelle Fabiani of the University of New Haven, explain how work cultures ...

AMES, Iowa – Researchers have developed new nanoscale technology to image and measure more of the stresses and strains on materials under high pressures. As the researchers reported in the journal ...
