Understanding the high-pressure behavior of the transition-metal monoxide FeO is important for both solid-state physics and Earth science. Despite considerable study over the past 30 years, the origin of the well-known and important ferroic transition has been not well understood. Now the first imaging of this transition has been reported by researchers utilizing the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.
