Description: 
This institute was organized about 1958 from the former Laboratory 
of Super-High-Pressure Physics, Academy of Sciences, U.S.S.R. Five labora- 
tories were to study problems of the structure of matter, physical-mechanical 
properties, electric and galvanomagnetic phenomena, and dynamic methods, and 
to do research on liquids. The staff of the Institute has developed a hydro- 
compressor for producing a 10,000-atmosphere pressure, a piston-type gage 
for measuring pressures up to 20,000 atmospheres, a method for forming liquid 
metals under pressure, a 1,000-ton hydraulic press, and a tetrahedral-type 
press for pressures up to 100,000 atmospheres at temperatures up to 2000 C.
