The perovskite NaOsO 3 has a complicated but interesting temperature-dependent metal-insulator transition (MIT). A team led by Drs. Raimundas Sereika and Yang Ding from the Center for High Pressure ...

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally observed when materials are cooled down to extremely low temperatures. In ...

AMES, Iowa – Researchers have developed new nanoscale technology to image and measure more of the stresses and strains on materials under high pressures. As the researchers reported in the journal ...

Small, shiny flecks of carbon discovered in rocks in Arizona’s Canyon Diablo in 1967 may have been chemically identical to conventional diamonds, but physically they were strikingly different. The ...

Inspired by exotic materials in diamonds coughed up by volcanoes, scientists have found a new way to study materials under extreme pressure. Researchers trap materials within the pores of glassy ...

Preservation of the high-pressure states of materials at ambient conditions is a long-sought-after goal for fundamental research and practical applications. A team of scientists led by Drs. Zhidan ...

Watch as air pressure forces a hard-boiled egg into a bottle without touching it! This classic science demonstration shows how changes in air pressure can create powerful forces, helping us understand ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Monica Day recently visited COSI to explore some of the museum’s often-overlooked hallway science experiments. Joined by COSI educator Joe Wood, she got a hands-on lesson in ...
