MAE researchers focused on discovering properties of synthetic metastable materials

Metastable materials exist in a temporary state but can undergo significant changes when exposed to high-pressure or high-temperature conditions. An example of this is that graphite is a stable phase of carbon, and when facing high pressures, it can be transformed into a diamond.
