Description

High pressure is powerful means to study and modulate properties of materials and to design new materials with interesting applications in many fields. What are the challenges related to the study of materials under extreme conditions? And what are the challenges for women who break the stereotypes using diamonds just to squeeze their samples? Two women researchers will present their careers and illustrate them with their scientific and technological successes. The place of female scientists working in (and under!) pressure will be sketched through the newborn international network "Women under High Pressure".
