Studies of laser-heated materials on femtosecond timescales have shown that the
interatomic potential can be perturbed at sufficiently high laser intensities. For gold, it has …

Mosaic crystals, with their high integrated reflectivities, are widely employed in
spectrometers used to diagnose high energy density systems. X-ray Thomson scattering …

We investigate shock-compressed copper in the warm dense matter regime by means of
density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations. We use neural-network-driven …

We present direct observations of acoustic waves in warm dense matter. We analyze wave-
number-and energy-resolved x-ray spectra taken from warm dense methane created by …

With the recent advances in machine learning (ML) and data science (DS), the control,
modeling, and analysis of these complex systems continues to improve. In this work, we …

Experiments today can compress solids near isentropically to pressures approaching 100×
10 6 atmospheres; however, determining the temperature of such matter remains a major …

A profound understanding of warm dense matter (WDM) properties is essential to unraveling
the mysteries of planetary and stellar formation, evolution, and interior structure, as well as …
