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

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 ...

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 ...

This review outlines the research progress in the experiment-oriented discovery of new phases or unique properties under high pressure, including phase transition, abnormal compression, PL ...
