Washington, DC— Every school child learns about the water cycle—evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

High Pressure

Washington, DC— Pressure improves the ability of materials to turn heat into electricity and could potentially be used to create clean generators, according to new work from a team that includes Carnegie’s Alexander Goncharov and Viktor Struzhkin published in
