HPCAT Workshop on Advances in Matter under Extreme Conditions

HPCAT celebrated its 10th anniversary by hosting a workshop on Advances in Matter under Extreme Conditons at the Advanced Photon Source from October 10-12, 2012. Over 100 people attended from the US and abroad. A report will be forthcoming consisting of two major parts, with Part I covering the advances in high pressure synchrotron techniques and extreme conditions science, and Part II addressing both scientific and technical challenges and research directions in the next decade.
