TEMPE, Ariz. — In a laboratory shrouded by heavy black curtains hung with danger signs, scientists are conjuring the scorching-hot, high-pressure conditions inside planets. To start, they squeeze tiny ...

Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the structural forms of solid methane. Led by Mengnan Wang at the University of ...

High-pressure resistivity experiments are under way to investigate whether gadolinium's bound f electrons become delocalized at this pressure. The researchers are also examining the electrical ...

An assist from a Google artificial intelligence tool has helped scientists discover how the proteins of a heat-loving microbe respond to the crushing conditions of the planet's deepest ocean trenches, ...

In this month's Weather Experiment Wednesday, we are looking at how pressure can change the boiling point of water. We took two identical beakers with the same temperature water inside. One beaker we ...

TULSA, Okla. — Here’s a way to beat the heat and showcase a feature of the atmosphere. All you need is a large jug full of water. Director of Education Chip Lindsey with Discovery Lab explains that ...
