AMES, Iowa – When Valery Levitas left Europe in 1999, he packed up a rotational diamond anvil cell and brought it to the United States. He and the researchers in his group are still using a ...

With an estimated 6 sextillion kilograms of the stuff—that’s 21 zeroes by the way—the Earth’s core is another example of why ...
The designer diamond anvil is placed in a beryllium–copper cell about 6 centimeters tall and 3 centimeters in diameter. The cell, in turn, is placed in a small device consisting of a gear-driven ...
Researchers think they have a foundational tool for the thorny problem of how to measure and image the behavior of hydride superconductors at high pressure. They report creatively integrating quantum ...
Hydrogen (like many of us) acts weird under pressure. Theory predicts that when crushed by the weight of more than a million times our atmosphere, this light, abundant, normally gaseous element first ...
