Brand New Project Section
Have you ever wondered how MALTA is organized? Well, this new section will answer your question.

The MALTA Team section has been updated!!
Further information on our researchers, the groups that are involved in MALTA and its locations has been added. Have a look!

Potassium under Pressure: A Pseudobinary Ionic Compound
Experimentally, we have found that among the "complicated" phases of potassium at intermediate pressures is one which has the same space group as the double hexagonal-close-packed structure, although its atomic coordination is completely different.....

MALTA Computing Centre is now open!!
MALTA high performance computing cluster is finally up and running. If you wish to use it and have not been allocated an account yet, please contact the system administrator: menendezmanuel@uniovi.es.

IV High Pressure Summer School
MALTA-Consolider wants to say a big thank you to all the teachers and students who attended the IV High Pressure Summer School for their effort and enthusiasm. MALTA-Consolider also wants to congratulate Rafa Valiente and Fernando Aguado on their excellent work that made this school a complete success:

Workshop on Diffraction at Low-temperature and high-pressure
The goal of this workshop is to highlight the importance of low-temperature structural data at high pressures in conjunction with electronic and magnetic properties and to discuss the potential experiments on I15, extreme condition beam line at Diamond.
Location: Diamond Light Source (UK)
Date: June 22nd, 2009

MALTA-Publications has been updated.
The Malta-Publications section has been updated with both MALTA and more relevant non-MALTA scientific contributions published by our scientists since the early stages of this initiative.

Work with us!!
A Research Fellow Position has come up within our Theoretical group in Castellon (Spain). The post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months. Candidates shoud have a PhD in Physics or Chemistry and have a proven background in molecular modeling of reactive systems under high pressure.

Can metals be a liquid glass?
The melting of transition metals on compression is a challenging topic. Computer simulations suggest that hot-compressed tantalum becomes a one-dimensional, liquid-like glass, with important implications for understanding planetary interiors.
