- smartscience 6y agoDon't forget neutrons! Not as quick to measure, and not so good with very small samples, but well-suited to combinations of extreme environments beyond just pressure, such as temperature, magnetic field, voltage gradient etc. https://www.isis.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/Pearl.aspx https://www.isis.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/Pearl.aspx
