A startup in Germany has used a high-pressure cooker to develop superhumus, which they see as a promising solution to soil degradation and climate change, one of the world’s most critical challenges.

High-pressure chemistry is an interdisciplinary science exploring reactions and phenomena occurring at pressures above 100 kPa. Under these extreme conditions, substances undergo remarkable ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Making fresh water out of seawater usually requires huge amounts of energy. The most widespread process for desalination is called reverse osmosis, which works by flowing ...

Why 3,000 bars are needed to take a comprehensive look at a protein: Researchers present a new high-pressure spectroscopy method to unravel the properties of proteins' native structures. A pressure of ...

Activists are worried about using technology that uses water to remove uranium from waste material at abandoned mines.

A pressure of 3,000 bar is applied to the cold shock protein B of Bacillus subtilis in a small tube in the NMR spectroscopy laboratory at the University of Konstanz. This is roughly three times the ...
