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.

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.

Photosynthetic materials, two-dimensional noble metals and sustainable semiconductors are some of the projects at LiU that have been granted funding from the research programme Wallenberg initiative materials science for sustainability – WISE.

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.

Researchers Feng Gao and Daniel Västfjäll at LiU have been appointed as new Wallenberg Scholars. In addition, six LiU researchers will have their  scholar periods extended. Each researcher receives between SEK 18 and 20 million for five years.
