Research using the world's most energetic laser has shed light on the properties of highly compressed matter -- essential to understanding the structure of giant planets and stars, and to develop ...

Most crystalline materials conduct heat by transferring vibrational energy as acoustic waves between atoms in an ordered lattice. External pressure forces the atoms in a crystal lattice closer ...

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put ...

A team led by physicists at Washington University in St. Louis has created quantum sensors that can survive in extreme ...

Quantum sensors built in nanometer thin boron nitride sheets endure extreme pressure, enabling precise measurements of stress ...

With his bold claims of revolutionary room-temperature superconductors, physicist Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester in New York propelled the field of high-pressure physics into the spotlight.

The Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, located at 11 Oxford Street, houses experimental physics labs. A team of Harvard and Boston University physicists developed a new tool to measure ...
