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

该奖项部分支持戈登高压研究会议。这次会议是至关重要的，因为多年来高压研究发生了巨大的变化，新技术的发展产生压力和研究压力下的样品，现在扩展到静态压力的几兆巴范围，而冲击压力则大大增加。该会议是一个重要的国际论坛，在静态和动态压力的前沿，在小体积金刚石砧细胞和大体积压力机，在物理，化学，地球科学和生物学新兴主题的不同领域。即将到来的会议将以最近最激动人心的主题为特色，包括理解和金属化氢的努力，地核的组成，新材料，磁性和超导性，多原子冲击，碱金属以及新方法和技术。开幕式和闭幕式将讨论未来的挑战，并庆祝过去的成功。这个充满活力和成功的会议将有来自各个领域和部门的代表，包括新面孔，研究生，博士后，初级教师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.
