Gordon Conference: Research at High Pressure, June 25 - 30, 2000, Meriden, NH

这一奖项是对戈登高压研究会议的部分支持。这次会议是至关重要和重要的，因为随着产生压力的新技术的发展，高压研究发生了巨大的变化，并在压力下研究样品，这些压力现在扩展到静压的数兆巴范围，而冲击压力的范围要高得多。该会议是一个重要的国际论坛，讨论在静态和动态压力的前沿、小体积的钻石顶压室和大容量的压力机、物理、化学、地球科学的不同领域以及生物学中的新兴课题。即将到来的会议将以近期最激动人心的主题为特色，包括氢的理解和金属化、地核的组成、新材料、磁性和超导、对多原子的冲击、碱金属以及新方法和新技术。开幕式和闭幕式将讨论未来的挑战，并庆祝过去的成功。这次充满活力和成功的会议将有来自所有领域和部门的代表，包括新面孔、研究生、博士后、初级教员和来自大型活跃团体的强大代表。

This award is in partial support of a Gordon Conference on Research at high Pressures. This conference is vital and important as high pressure research has changed dramatically over the years with the development of new techniques for generating pressure and studying samples at pressures which now extend into the multi-megabar range for static pressures, and substantially higher for shock pressure. The conference serves as an important international forum for topics at the forefront of both static and dynamic pressures, in small volume diamond anvil cells and large volume presses, in the diverse fields of physics, chemistry, geosciences, and emerging topics in biology. The upcoming meeting will feature invited talks in the most exciting subjects of recent interent, including efforts to understand and metallize hydrogen, the composition of the earth's core, novel materials, magnetism and superconductivity, shock on polyatomics, alkali metals, and new methods and techniques. Opening and closing sessions will discuss the challenges of the future and celebrate the successes of the past. This vibrant and successful conference will have representation from all fields and sectors, including new faces, graduate students, post docs, junior faculty and a strong representation from large active groups.
