About the Topical Group on Compression of Condensed Matter
The APS Topical Group on Compression of Condensed Matter (GCCM) was founded in 1984 to promote the development and exchange of information on the high-pressure properties of materials. The Topical Group sponsors biennial technical meetings, including experimental, theoretical and computational studies, and new experimental methods and developments.
-
Promotes fundamental and applied research in static and dynamic compression of condensed matter.
-
Explores how extreme conditions drive behavior in superconductivity, plasticity, transitions, planetary science, chemical reactivity, and shock waves.
-
Offers engagement opportunities for students and researchers for networking, career enhancement, and recognition.
