White dwarfs are a class of stars with unique physical properties. They present many
challenging problems whose solution requires advanced theories of dense matter, state-of …

Accurate knowledge of the properties of hydrogen at high compression is crucial for
astrophysics (eg, planetary and stellar interiors, brown dwarfs, atmosphere of compact stars) …

Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures—commonly known as warm dense matter
(WDM)—is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in astrophysical objects such as …

Stop** power is the rate at which a material absorbs the kinetic energy of a charged
particle passing through it—one of many properties needed over a wide range of …

We report the results of the second charged-particle transport coefficient code comparison
workshop, which was held in Livermore, California on 24–27 July 2023. This workshop …

Rigorous diagnostics of experiments with warm dense matter are notoriously difficult. A key
method is X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS), but the interpretation of XRTS measurements is …

Ion stop** in warm dense matter is a process of fundamental importance for the
understanding of the properties of dense plasmas, the realization and the interpretation of …

The description of electronic exchange-correlation effects is of paramount importance for
many applications in physics, chemistry, and beyond. In a recent paper, Dornheim et …

We investigate the thermopower and Lorenz number of hydrogen with Kohn-Sham density
functional theory (DFT) across the plasma plane toward the near-classical limit, ie, weakly …

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) with the laser-indirect-drive scheme has recently made a
tremendous breakthrough recently after decades of intensive research effort. Taking this …
