Scientists have discovered a new phase of ice, called ice XXI, formed by rapidly compressing water at room temperature, revealing new insights into ice's diverse crystalline structures and potential implications for understanding icy moons.
Harvard scientists have developed a groundbreaking tool that integrates quantum sensors into a standard pressure-inducing device, allowing direct imaging of superconducting materials under extreme conditions. This innovation could revolutionize the study of superconducting hydrides, enabling the discovery of new materials and easier access to coveted characteristics in existing ones. The tool, which uses naturally occurring defects in diamond crystals, has the potential to optimize material synthesis and facilitate further research in the field of high-pressure physics.
