Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...

A research team led by Prof. Liu Xiaodi from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, ...

Pressure is one of the fundamental thermodynamic variables. It affects intermolecular interactions and interatomic properties. Under extreme conditions such as high pressure, materials exhibit ...

With his bold claims of revolutionary room-temperature superconductors, physicist Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester in New York propelled the field of high-pressure physics into the spotlight.

Advanced seismic imaging techniques could improve earthquake early warning models and aid the development of next-generation ...

Iron is an essential component of many specialized materials. In research, we subject it to extreme conditions daily to observe how it reacts — this helps us learn more about the material’s properties ...

The Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, located at 11 Oxford Street, houses experimental physics labs. A team of Harvard and Boston University physicists developed a new tool to measure ...

This article reports on research described in a paper in Nature. This paper has since been retracted by the journal. Superconductivity has been observed at temperatures up to 15 °C in a hydrogen-rich ...

Research using the world's most energetic laser has shed light on the properties of highly compressed matter -- essential to understanding the structure of giant planets and stars, and to develop ...

Pressure is one of the canonical thermodynamic variables which control the equilibrium conditions of a physical system and, as such, it has been used for centuries as a control parameter to drive a ...
