II. Chemical and Material Extremes

GOAL: To advance our understanding of extreme chemical and physical properties, including novel structure and bonding at high densities, extreme chemical reactivity, and exotic physical properties such as very high-temperature superconductivity and novel dielectric and magnetic phenomena.
