Equation of state measurements play a crucial role in understanding the behavior of materials under extreme conditions. Recent advancements have been made by an international team of scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Argonne National Laboratory, and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron to improve the reliability of these measurements in a pressure regime previously unattainable in the

Topological materials are a fascinating category of materials that exhibit unique properties due to the way their wavefunctions interact. When the wavefunction of a topological material meets its surrounding space, it must unwind, leading to notable changes in the behavior of electrons at the material’s edge compared to those in the bulk. These distinctive edge
