| Abstract | This project will create a new, advanced tool called Atlas2 to help scientists better understand minerals that make up the Earth. By studying these minerals under extreme conditions, we can learn more about our planet’s structure and how it works. Atlas2 will make it easier to measure changes in minerals and improve our understanding of volcanos and earthquakes. The new tool will help researchers in many fields, from geology to engineering. It will also provide valuable educational opportunities |
