AbstractThe Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP) is an NSF Physics Frontiers Center that explores matter at pressures strong enough to change the nature of atoms themselves. Such conditions dominate the interiors of planets and stars, but only recently could such conditions be explored or exploited on Earth. To date, thousands of planets have been discovered, providing numerous possible platforms for life throughout the universe. To understand the origin, evolution, and nature of these planets,
