Under extreme pressure, matter can exhibit novel or counter-intuitive phenomena such as superconductivity at unusually high-temperature, unexpected chemical stoichiometries and reaction kinetics, or new material phases. These behaviours have implications for fields such as fundamental physics, Earth and planetary sciences, and material synthesis. However, high pressure experimental and theoretical tools are highly complex and under constant development.
This Collection highlights recent publications from the Nature Portfolio that explore material properties at extreme pressure to complement the Nature Conference “Frontiers of High Pressure Research – Science under Extreme Conditions” (November 21-23, 2022), organized with HPSTAR (Center for High Pressure Science & Technology Advanced Research), SHARPS (Shanghai Advanced Research in Physical Sciences), the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jilin University, Yanshan University and Sichuan University.
