Gold is an extremely important material for high-pressure experiments and is considered the "gold standard" for calculating pressure in static diamond anvil cell experiments. When compressed slowly at ...

Even with the weight of worlds on its shoulders, diamond resolutely refuses to buckle under the pressure. Thanks to the highest-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments ever reported, researchers have ...

A model of Neptune showing depths where the newly discovered, body-centered-cubic superionic Ice XIX could exist. It may explain Neptune’s multi-polar magnetic field (purple) due to increased ...
