I will discuss two unusual experimental techniques currently being developed for the study of quantum materials: nonlinear magnetic response and uniaxial pressure. They can be used to detect and modify the fundamental symmetries of materials, with great potential for new insights. In particular, I will examine the symmetry properties of nonlinear magnetic susceptibility, with applications in the study of chiral superconductors. Furthermore, I will present a novel approach to uniaxial pressure experiments, which can easily be combined with various other techniques to investigate the effects of broken structural symmetries.
