Negative pressure governs not only the Universe or the quantum vacuum. This phenomenon, although of a different nature, appears also in liquid crystals confined in nanopores. At the Institute of ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying calculating pressure, pressure in a liquid and atmospheric pressure. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got ...

Pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagram of a NaYbSe2 single crystal. Courtesy: Run-Ze Yu Researchers in China report that they have observed both superconductivity and an insulator-to-metal ...

Using X-ray lasers, researchers at Stockholm University have been able to determine the existence of a critical point in supercooled water at around -63 °C and 1,000 atmospheres. Ordinary water at ...

Pressure is one of the canonical thermodynamic variables which control the equilibrium conditions of a physical system and, as such, it has been used for centuries as a control parameter to drive a ...

In a significant advance for semiconductor manufacturing, mechanical engineers created a simulation that makes it easier to choose environmentally friendly water jet and underwater ultrasound ...
