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

Scientists have conducted laboratory experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that provide new insights on the complex process of pressure-driven ionization in giant planets and ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
