Deep inside gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, hydrogen and helium coexist under pressures millions of times greater than ...

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

X-ray diffraction measurements under laser-driven dynamic compression allow researchers to investigate the atomic structure of matter at hundreds of thousands of atmospheres of pressure and ...

Air pressure moved the water! When the glass was initially placed over the flame, it created warm air in the glass. The warm air expanded quickly and created higher pressure. When the flame went out, ...

Even with the weight of worlds on its shoulders, diamond resolutely refuses to buckle under the pressure. Thanks to the highest-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments ever reported, researchers have ...

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 ...

The Queen Mary research shows that graphene is 3D as well as 2D. CREDIT Yiwei Sun Contrary to what is believed, monolayer graphene (a sheet of carbon just one atomic layer thick) has 3D mechanical ...

The importance of the insulator-metal transition (IMT) in compressed nickel monoxide (NiO) for the physics of strongly correlated electronic systems ranks close to the problems of insulator-metal ...

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 ...

The work investigates fouling in a microfluidic membrane mimic (MMM) filtration system for foulants such as polystyrene particles and large polymeric molecules. Our MMM device consists of a staggered ...
