Beijing High Pressure Science Research Center (HPSTAR) is a research organization focused on high-pressure science and the study of matter under extreme conditions. Its work spans scientific research, researcher development, academic exchange, and student education. Research teams investigate topics including Earth and planetary interiors, materials and minerals, water-bearing phases in the deep mantle, metallic glasses, photovoltaics, and pressure-responsive hydrogels. The center highlights findings through research updates and publications, and provides access to a synchrotron radiation source and public technical platforms to support scientific work.

HPSTAR also organizes seminars, conferences, workshops, and summer schools, and shares information about research opportunities, admissions, training programs, and student activities. Its website offers guidance for visitors, institutional rules and service information, annual reports, and recruitment notices. The center has branches in Beijing, Shanghai, and Changchun, supporting research and collaboration across its locations. Through scientific facilities, academic events, and training activities, HPSTAR connects researchers and students working to understand materials and processes in demanding environments.
