Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the ...

Science Central brought the Magdeburg Hemispheres to First News Weekends to show the power of atmospheric pressure.

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

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 ...
