This category explores the physics of matter under extreme conditions—pressures, temperatures, and energy densities where conventional models break down and fusion-relevant behaviors emerge. It opens with the July 26, 2017 presentation from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), a cornerstone institution in HED research and home to the National Ignition Facility (NIF).
