By then it had been recognized that atoms were highly compressible but that the gigantic gaseous body of a star was normally supported by radiation from its core.

Synthetic Thermawave polyester insulation is durable and highly compressible; synthetic polyester fill retains some insulating properties even when wet.

This can be done invisibly to the user, so a highly compressible file may be transmitted considerably faster than expected.

But web pages in general, just because they've got so much structure which is highly compressible, that's a win.

Under pressure, gases are highly compressible but liquids are almost incompressible.

This vaporization is a problem because vapor is highly compressible relative to liquid, and therefore negates the hydraulic transfer of braking force.

Remarkably, this works well even for a highly compressible fluid like air as long as sound and shock waves can be ignored.

The solid has a sharp melting point and has a crystalline structure, but it is highly compressible; applying pressure in a laboratory can decrease its volume by more than 30%.

Critical point experiments are difficult to perform on Earth because at the critical point the fluid becomes highly compressible, or elastic.

Peat deposits also pose major difficulties to builders of structures, roads, and railways, as they are highly compressible under even small loads.
