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 ...

Pressure techniques are experimental methods that apply controlled hydrostatic or uniaxial pressure to a sample to modify and probe its structural, electronic, magnetic, or thermodynamic properties.
