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 ...

Under pressures that would crush a car into scrap, a long standing mystery about how some of the most extreme superconductors actually work is finally giving way. By combining new measurement tricks ...

Pressure improves the ability of materials to turn heat into electricity and could potentially be used to create clean generators, according to new work. Pressure improves the ability of materials to ...

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 ...

This review outlines the research progress in the experiment-oriented discovery of new phases or unique properties under high pressure, including phase transition, abnormal compression, PL ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...

People perceived as the most likely to succeed might also be the most likely to crumble under pressure. A new study finds that individuals with high working-memory capacity, which normally allows them ...

Watch this fascinating demonstration of air pressure at work. Notice how the egg vibrates as the heated air escapes around it, and how it gets smoothly pushed into the bottle by atmospheric pressure.
