Recently we have suggested that negative thermal expansion materials will also show an effect called pressure-induced softening, where shown that the elastic stiffness is...

CaSiO3 perovskite is the third most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle; it also occurs as a major phase at lower pressures and temperatures in subduction zones, where,...

We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental...

Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and...

Shale swelling is particularly problematic in the oil and gas exploration sector, as environmentally friendly water based muds are invariably used during drilling operations to...
