Hidden negative linear compressibility in lithium l-tartrate

Development of artificial muscles, next-generation pressure sensors and precision optics relies on advances in materials with anomalous mechanical properties. Negative linear compressibility, NLC, is one such rare, counterintuitive phenomenon, in which a material expands along one axis under hydrost...
