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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at KRISS observed water’s rapid freeze–melt cycles under ultrahigh pressure and discovered Ice XXI, the first new ice phase found in decades. Using advanced high-pressure tech and ...

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.

Gas carriers transport fuels that would be impossibly bulky in gaseous form, so they rely on extreme pressure, low temperatures, or both. This video explains the physics behind liquefaction and why ...

Offshore saturation divers routinely work at depths where pressure can be instantly fatal without careful control. This video explains the physics, technology, and daily realities that allow humans to ...
