“…Further, there is the potential to use extreme conditions to synthesize metastable or nonequilibrium material forms that have novel properties. These possibilities are discussed in-depth in the article by Silvestroni et al 31 The meteoric rise in AI/ML to materials science has been nothing short of astonishing. Recent advances and applications of AI/ML to the study of materials under extremes are highlighted in the articles by Maruyama et al 32 and Kohnert et al 14 Although we do not see AI/ML as a replacement for other parts of the materials science enterprise, it is a valuable tool that can only aid us in designing and discovering new materials.…”

Coupled extreme environments pose among the highest demands on materials, stressing the limits of temperature, pressure, electric and magnetic fields, atomic displacement rates, and chemical potentials that can be simultaneously sustained. This issue highlights exciting new materials science methods that will enable rapid progress in what has traditionally been the most difficult materials arena. New opportunities in artificial intelligence, multi-physics simulations capabilities, the use of extreme conditions to synthesize novel materials, and our ability to interrogate materials under relevant conditions provide new avenues to understand and design new materials.

Thermodynamic metastable nanomaterials display attractive properties due to their unique atom configuration and microstructure, distinct from their counterparts found in equilibrium phase diagrams. However, their fabrication remains a grand challenge because conventional methods are generally operated under near-equilibrium conditions. To break the thermodynamic limits for discovering novel materials, numerous fabrication methods by adopting extreme strategies have been developed, including ultrafast synthesis, Joule heating, carbon thermal shock, pulse heating, extreme temperature gradients, and rapid solidification. A common feature of these methods is that the target material is processed under a far-from-equilibrium (FFE) thermodynamic state, where a new kinetic route is created for the evolution of an unprecedented composition/structure. In this review, we provide a unifying view and guiding strategies for engineering FFE environments during materials synthesis, categorized within both temporal and spatial dimensions of the thermodynamic landscape. Furthermore, we highlight the potential of FFE materials, not only as platforms for deeper understanding nonequilibrium behaviors, but also as a framework for designing innovative materials for advanced technologies.
