Scientists accidentally create gold hydride under extreme pressure, revealing unexpected chemistry and insights into ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Do you think its possible to fit a water balloon inside a bottle?? The only way we will make it happen is by creating different air pressure. Let’s find out how! Step 1: Fill the ...

Under pressures that would crush a car into scrap, a long standing mystery about how some of the most extreme superconductors actually work is finally giving way. By combining new measurement tricks ...

Scientists have studied the behavior of gold and platinum at pressures near 1 terapascal (TPa)—a trillion pascals—several times the pressure at Earth’s center (Science 2021, DOI: ...

Gold has a reputation for being one of the most stable, predictable elements in the periodic table, but under crushing pressures and searing temperatures it turns out to be anything but simple. By ...

Under pressure: X-ray scattering at high pressure and temperature provides new insights into the composition of the Earth’s outer core. (Courtesy: Shutterstock ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — If your student is learning about pressure or is looking for a more exciting way to understand science, this experiment is perfect. You most likely will have all the materials at home ...

Using high-powered laser beams, researchers have simulated conditions inside a planet three times as large as Earth. Scientists have identified more than 2,000 of these “super-Earths,” exoplanets that ...

Lithium might be a "simple metal" under normal conditions but under extreme pressures it becomes a superconductor with one of the highest critical temperatures of all the elements At ambient ...

GRAND RAPIDS — High pressure and low pressure are terms we hear all the time in our weather forecasts, but do we know how pressure is measured? Meteorologists use a lot of different instruments to ...
