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 shock and dynamic high-pressure properties of materials. In 2023, the scope of the group was expanded to all high-pressure compression (static, dynamic and shock). The Topical Group sponsors biennial technical meetings on the Science of Compression in Condensed Matter (SCCM) which showcase and promote research in static, dynamic and shock compression and detonation physics research - including experimental, theoretical and computational studies, and new experimental methods and developments.
