Ultrahigh pressure

Ultrahigh pressure refers to extremely intense forces exerted on materials, often exceeding millions of times atmospheric pressure. This level of pressure can alter a material’s structure and properties, like changing minerals in the Earth's deep interior or creating new synthetic materials in laboratories. Such pressures are typically found deep within planets or generated in specialized high-pressure experiments, providing valuable insights into planetary science, material science, and geophysics. Essentially, ultrahigh pressure is a way to explore how materials behave under conditions vastly different from everyday experiences, revealing new states of matter and driving scientific discovery.
