The insulator-metal transition was observed experimentally in nickel monoxide (NiO) at very high pressures of ∼240 GPa. The sample resistance becomes measurable at about 130 GPa and decreases substantially with the pressure increase to ∼240 GPa. A sharp drop in resistance by about 3 orders of magn…
