In large systems with interacting components one often finds emergent behavior unforeseen on the basis of the individual components. This principle is called emergence and is underlying a variety of phenomena across all disciplines from humanities to natural sciences. In my talk I will discuss emergent behavior in metals. Here, tuning the interactions between electrons provides a route to new states of matter and helps to understand phenomena like superconductivity. A powerful way to tune the electron interaction is the application of pressure. I will show our recent developments which are expected to simplify and standardize measurements at high pressures in the regime up to 100 000 bar.
