Materials science: Disciplines bound by pressure

Geologists have driven many of the recent advances in high-pressure experimentation. But understanding the properties of materials under extreme compression is also a well-developed branch of condensed-matter physics; high pressures are used in chemistry, too, to form dense crystalline materials, often with unusual coordination and valence states, or interesting electronic and magnetic properties. New extremes of pressure are now being explored with |[lsquo]|designer|[rsquo]| diamond anvils and shock compression techniques.
