Pushing the Frontiers of Science at Extreme Conditions

Since the late 20th century, extreme environments have driven scientific breakthroughs, fueling technologies that are poised to transform our world.

At NEXCL we tackle the toughest questions at the extremes of temperature, pressure, field, and time in materials science.

Our mission is to pioneer the discovery and understanding of materials, under extreme conditions, that will catalyze the greatest societal and technological change.

NEXCL brings together interdisciplinary expertise in high-pressure and high-temperature techniques, optical and X-ray spectroscopy, advanced theoretical and computational methods, and large-scale experiments at synchrotron and free electron laser facilities.
