The FORCE Laboratory at the University of Maryland utilizes cutting-edge high-pressure experimental equipment to simulate the intense environments present in Earth’s interior and those of other planets. Researchers employ this facility to investigate crucial aspects of planetary formation processes, focusing on understanding their evolution over time. The lab's capabilities allow scientists to study the behavior of materials under extraordinary pressure levels, mirroring conditions found deep beneath planetary surfaces. This research directly contributes to a more comprehensive knowledge base regarding planet development and dynamics. Participants are gaining valuable public engagement skills through these unique learning opportunities.
