The research in the unit Physics at Extreme Conditions is aimed at understanding the stability and properties of materials at ultra-high pressure and temperature conditions.

WASP and WISE have recently awarded grants to nine collaborative projects, three of which include participants from the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University.

Theoretician Florian Trybel has an irreplaceable role in creating new materials. Together with his experimental research colleague in Scotland he aims to expand the possibilities of materials in extreme conditions.

There is an enormously growing demand for materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions, in particular advanced hard and highly electrically conducting materials.

Research synergy from different fields, research institutes and countries has resulted in the discovery of near-unbreakable materials that show a wide range of further properties with possible applications in a broad range of fields.

Three researchers at LiU have received European Research Council Starting grants awarded to promising researchers. Their research areas are new cancer treatment, materials development and how people are affected by grief.

An international research team with members from Linköping University has discovered a new material with a thickness of a single layer of atoms. The properties of the material, beryllonitrene, are similar to those of graphene.

Researchers at LiU, among other places, have created a new material that ought to be impossible. Its synthesis is, however, possible thanks to a new method that creates pressure approximately three times higher than in the Earth’s core.

An international research group has discovered previously unknown phases of silica, with structures that should not be possible in nature. The theoretical foundation of the work has been calculated under the leadership of Igor Abrikosov.
