The '''Center for Matter Under Extreme Conditions''' at UCSD studies matter under extreme conditions of pressure, temperature, and radiation, which is critical for applications in inertial confinement fusion, extreme ultraviolet lithography, and supporting the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship mission. It conducts both experimental and theoretical research to push the boundaries of high-energy density science.
