Ice may seem pretty simple in our everyday experience, but it actually comes in at least 20 different forms. Scientists at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) have now discovered a new type of ...

High-pressure resistivity experiments are under way to investigate whether gadolinium's bound f electrons become delocalized at this pressure. The researchers are also examining the electrical ...

University of California, Berkeley, and Yale University scientists have recreated the tremendous pressures and high temperatures deep in the Earth to resolve a long-standing puzzle: why some seismic ...

Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the structural forms of solid methane. Led by Mengnan Wang at the University of ...

Researchers have captured the most detailed look yet at how gold’s atomic structure changes under some of the highest pressures ever achieved in a laboratory. The new findings offer rare insight into ...
