A new compression technique, which enables the study of solids into the TPa regime, is described and used to ramp (or quasi-isentropically) compress diamond to a peak pressure of 1400 GPa. Diamond stress versus density data are reported to 800 GPa and suggest that the diamond phase is stable and has significant material strength up to at least this stress level. Data presented here are the highest ramp compression pressures by more than a factor of 5 and the highest-pressure solid equation-of-state data ever reported.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers synthesized CoSbTeGe using high-pressure and high-temperature methods, achieving conditions of around 2 GPa and 900 K.
- Characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction revealed an average grain size of 1 μm for the material.
- The study found that introducing Te and Ge into CoSbTeGe significantly reduced lattice thermal conductivity and improved thermoelectric properties, with a maximum figure of merit (ZT) of 1.13 at 800 K.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the mechanical properties and surface characteristics of four archwire materials: stainless steel, nickel-titanium, beta-titanium, and esthetic archwires, focusing on tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, surface roughness, and frictional properties.
- Stainless steel had the best mechanical properties, including the highest tensile strength (900 N), yield strength (780 N), and modulus of elasticity (200 GPa), while esthetic archwires showed the highest surface roughness (0.40 µm) and frictional forces.
- The findings highlight that selecting the right archwire material is crucial for achieving effective and efficient tooth movement in orthodontic treatment.

Calcium phosphate, particularly hydroxyapatite (HA), bears a close resemblance to human bones, rendering it a prevalent material in biomedical applications. This study focuses on the successful preparation of HA using a precipitation method with eggshell as a raw material. Subsequently, the HA powder was press-formed and sintered at various temperatures to investigate the impact of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties, including hardness, compressive strength, and fracture toughness, of the sintered HA samples (E-HA).

The realization of spontaneous ferroelectricity down to the one-dimensional (1D) limit is both fundamentally intriguing and practically appealing for high-density ferroelectric and nonlinear photonics. However, the 1D vdW ferroelectric materials are not discovered experimentally yet. Here, the first 1D vdW ferroelectric compound NbOI with a high Curie temperature T > 450 K and giant second harmonic generation (SHG) is reported.
