The polar regions of the Antarctic and the Arctic are indicators of the changing global climate, and there is a lot of research underway to investigate how changing conditions will affect the polar ecosystems and beyond. The Korean Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) uses Raman spectroscopy in combination with Linkam stages to study ice crystals and chemical processes in polar ice in order to better understand climate change.

Researchers reveal high temperature stability of exotic silicon phases
Researchers in Australia using a THMS600 found that metastable silicon states achieved by indentation remained stable up to 450 °C. The research has clarified how these indentation-formed phases of silicon evolve through metastable structures such as r8-Si, to nanocrystalline phases such as hd-Si and Si-XIII.
