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 ...

The perovskite NaOsO 3 has a complicated but interesting temperature-dependent metal-insulator transition (MIT). A team led by Drs. Raimundas Sereika and Yang Ding from the Center for High Pressure ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A wise man once said, “Pressure: Pushing down on me, pressing down on you.” The point being, pressure sucks---that is, unless you’re cooking with pressure. Because while pressure cooking might seem ...

Glass was among the most expensive crafting materials before the invention of glassblowing techniques. An ancient recipe for making glass is as simple as annealing a molten mixture of silica sand and ...

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 ...
