Extremes
of pressure and temperature
are used
in the most general sense
to
explore Change as you bring
matter
closer together.

...May there be
many summer mornings
when,..you enter harbours
you're seeing for the
first time;..
Excerpt from Ithaca by Kavafis

The
questions broadly asked are:
·
Will change occur? Why/why
not?
- What kind of change is induced?
- How does this change occur?
- What does the system change to? Why?
- How are the systems along the route
of change related to each other,
what are
their properties, can and how do we exploit them?
These questions
are asked to address, frequently interdisciplinary challenges,
in engineering as
well as chemistry – biology – planetary science – physics
We address, and
exploit in synergy, the answers to the questions above on change
in order to explore, create and characterize
new material landscapes of
fundamental and
technological importance (chemical, optoelectronic, biological,
mechanical),
also of interest for clean energy, LED, cutting tool, medical applications.
To explore extreme
conditions change, we design, employ and modify different vessels
and associated
processing and characterization methods:
