Exploring materials under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature is critical for understanding planetary formation, evolution and structure. Impact processes on planetary surfaces also play an important role in shaping the planetary environment and setting the stage for the possible sustenance of life. Here, I will discuss how static compression and shock wave experiments can be used to probe conditions from a few gigapascals to terapascal regimes and from planetary...
