What is it about?
A most stable phase of zirconium oxide at the ambient conditions was compressed and the unit cell volume was measured using x-ray powder diffraction. It becomes more compressive with increasing pressure up to 7 GPa.

Why is it important?
Materials usually become less compressive with increasing pressure. However, the monoclinic phase of zirconium oxide shows the opposite property.
