The advancement of large-scale scientific facilities thrives on an iterative cycle: Methodology Development — Dedicated Instrumentation — Applied Research.

This Special Topic introduces selected synchrotron radiation beamlines and neutron spectrometers for high-pressure research within China’s operational and upcoming facilities. We aim to enhance researcher awareness of these capabilities and facilitate optimal facility utilization for scientific exploration

We further encourage users to engage deeply in designing next-generation methodologies and instruments, ultimately advancing applied research through collaborative innovation.
