The Laboratoire Matière en Conditions Extrêmes (LMCE) is a laboratory based at CEA-DAM Ile-de-France (CEA-DIF), in Bruyères-le-Châtel. Bringing together academic activities carried out at CEA-DIF in various fields of « Science and Engineering », it has been affiliated with Paris-Saclay University (UPS) under the CEA-UPS agreement.
The research topics addressed at the LMCE aim at better understanding the physical phenomena involved in the ultra-fast conditioning of matter under extreme conditions. They thus cover a very vast domain of states of matter, from solid to plasma, which is articulated around three major axes of physics:
- Condensed matter physics,
- Fluid physics, and more specifically plasma physics,
- Nuclear physics.
