A giant increase in conductivity measured when a semiconductor is submitted to high pressure

Researchers obtain conductivity values for stroncium iridate 250 times higher than in normal conditions, just pressing with nanometric needles. The results where obtained thanks to the use of the atomic force microscope (AFM) showing that the material could become a good candidate for future applications in sensors and electronics.
