TL;DR: Direct evolution was used to reveal the potential of the nonsporulating and mesophilic model bacterium Escherichia coli to develop the ability to survive exposure to high temperature or pressure, and results for the first time establish that cellular life can acquire resistance to pressures extending into the GPa range.

TL;DR: The graphitic layered compound C6N9H3 as discussed by the authors was prepared by reaction between melamine and cyanuric chloride under high pressure-high temperature condition in a piston cylinder apparatus and characterised using SEM, powderX-ray diffraction, UV Raman and near-IR Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy with near IR excitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the melting curve of Sn initially rises steeply as a function of pressure but exhibits a decrease in slope ($d{T}_{m}/dP$) above 40 GPa to become nearly flat above 50 GPa.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew-Ernzerhof-Burke (GGA-PDE) within density functional theory and obtained a calculated band gap value range of 2.20-3.56 eV.

TL;DR: The high-P,T annealing and mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials with a highly nitrided bulk composition close to Ti3N4 and Al2O3 with significant variations in the hardness may be associated with the distribution of amorphous/crystalline regions and the very fine grained nature of the crystalline component in these materials.
