What is it about?

Recent work has shown that different experimental results are obtained in experiments on short and long times scales in x-ray diffraction studies of materials under high pressure. This is due to differences in the ability to detect rapid and slow transformations in the materials studied.

Why is it important?

The time scale of experimental measurements is a very important factor to take into account for researchers as in the end it will determine what is actually observed in the study.

Perspectives

In order to obtain a complete picture of the changes occuring in a material under high pressure, measurements should be made at both short and long time scales.
