2020 Gordon Research Conference and Seminar - Research at High Pressure, Holderness, NH

非技术描述：会议资金为美国博士后学者和研究生参加2020年高压戈登研究会议和戈登研究研讨会提供注册费用支持。这是运行时间最长的GRC之一；第一次是在1955年。2020年会议提供了一个论坛，讨论高压研究的最新进展和发现，重点是理论、先进计算方法和实验的结合如何塑造高压研究的未来。这次会议吸引了许多年轻的研究人员和该领域的先驱。这次会议在高压会议中占有独特的位置，因为它的独特形式最大限度地增加了科学讨论。主要目标之一是创造一个高度互动的环境，在这个环境中，新的想法被提出，并由才华横溢的年轻研究人员和该领域的国际公认的领导者集思广益。大学氛围激励着新的方向，促进了导师的成长。技术细节：2020年会议涵盖了高压研究中的最新发现，如新型加压二元化合物(超氢化物、氦化合物、富N化合物和行星内部的冰)。这些发现带来了非凡的成就，如创纪录的超导温度和储存化学能的能力。该领域即将面临的一个挑战是探索三元和四元化合物的稳定性，这需要新颖的实验和计算策略。因此，2020年计划的一个新颖性是一个前瞻性会议，重点是在极端热力学条件下解决复杂性的第一步，以及大数据和基于机器学习的方法如何适应研究战略，无论是在处理大型设施的大数据输出方面，还是通过优化对多组分材料相空间的探索。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Conference funding provides support for registration fees for U.S.-based post-doctoral scholars and graduate students to attend the 2020 Research at High Pressure Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar. This is one of the longest-running GRCs; the first took place in 1955. The 2020 meeting provides a forum to address the latest advances and discoveries in high pressure research, with emphasis on the ways in which the combination of theory, advanced computational methods and experiment are shaping the future of high pressure research. The conference attracts many young researchers as well as pioneers of the field. This meeting has a distinct place among high pressure conferences for its unique format that maximizes scientific discussions. One of the major goals is creating a highly interactive environment where new ideas are presented and are brainstormed by exceptionally talented young researchers and internationally recognized leaders in the field. The collegial atmosphere motivates new directions and promotes mentoring. TECHNICAL DETAILS: The 2020 meeting covers the most recent discoveries in high pressure research such as novel binary compounds under pressure (super-hydrides, He compounds, N-rich compounds, and ices in planetary interiors). These discoveries have led to remarkable achievements such as record superconducting temperatures and capacities for storage of chemical energy. An upcoming challenge of the field is to explore the stability of ternary and quaternary compounds, requiring novel experimental and computational strategies. For this reason, a novelty of the 2020 program is a prospective session focusing on first steps to tackle complexity at extreme thermodynamic conditions, and on how big-data and machine-learning based approaches may be adapted to the research strategy, both in treating the big data output of large facilities and by optimizing the exploration of the phase space of multicomponent materials.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
