Natalia Dubrovinskaia (born 18 February 1961) is a Swedish geologist of Russian origin.
In 1983,Natalia Dubrovinskaia earned a Master of Science degree in geochemistry from Moscow State University and she received her PhD in crystallography and crystal physics at the same institution 6 years later. Working as a senior researcher fellow until 2007,she finished the Habilitation of crystallography and Umhabilitation the following year at University of Bayreuth,Germany. [1] [2] In 2011,she had worked as a staff scientist at the University of Heidelberg.
Dubrovinskaia was a research fellow at the Ministry of Geology and a post-doctoral researcher at Uppsala University.
In 2005,Dubrovinskaia led a team of researchers from the University of Bayreuth who were reported to have produced aggregated diamond nanorods from fullerene under high temperatures and pressures. [3] [4] [5] Two years earlier,large samples of nanodiamond were produced in a cheaper way (from graphite) and discovered to be harder than diamond by Japanese researchers. [6] Dubrovinskaia worked at the Heidelberg University in Germany as a Privatdozent and senior scientist from 2007 to 2011.
Since then,Natalia Dubrovinskaia returns to University of Bayreuth and employed as Professor of Materials Physics and Technology at Extreme Conditions. [1] [2]
Natalia Dubrovinskaia is currently the Editor-in-chief for the International Journal of Materials and Chemistry [7]

Dubrovinskaia is married to Leonid Dubrovinsky,a geoscientist at University of Bayreuth. [8] Together both her and her husband have been working as a scientific couple for the past four decades.
Throughout the career of Professor Dubrovinskaia,she has published over 222 papers cover a variety of topics but mostly focus on Crystallography,Diamond anvil cell,Analytical chemistry,Diffraction and Diamond. [9] Her extensive research in the field of biology encompasses various subjects,such as X-ray crystallography,Bulk modulus,and Boron. Additionally,her investigation using Diamond anvil cell focuses on areas like Mineralogy,specifically related to Mantle and Stishovite,as well as Thermodynamics,which has connections to fields like Core. Her works in Analytical chemistry encompasses Ab initio quantum chemistry methods and Ambient pressure,while her Diffraction study integrates various areas including Elasticity,Phase transition,Single crystal,Synchrotron,and Isostructural. Her investigation delves into the correlation between Diamond and topics such as Chemical engineering,which intersect with challenges in Metal-related issues. She has also done research into a new method of synthesising rare earth-metal compounds. In this research her main area of focus was on exploring the intriguing reactivity of alkali halides,like common table salt NaCl,when subjected to high pressure in the presence of rare-earth metals such as Yttrium and Dysprosium.

In science and engineering the study of high pressure examines its effects on materials and the design and construction of devices,such as a diamond anvil cell,which can create high pressure. High pressure usually means pressures of thousands (kilobars) or millions (megabars) of times atmospheric pressure.
Technicolor theories are models of physics beyond the Standard Model that address electroweak gauge symmetry breaking,the mechanism through which W and Z bosons acquire masses. Early technicolor theories were modelled on quantum chromodynamics (QCD),the "color" theory of the strong nuclear force,which inspired their name.
In particle physics,a tetraquark is an exotic meson composed of four valence quarks. A tetraquark state has long been suspected to be allowed by quantum chromodynamics,the modern theory of strong interactions. A tetraquark state is an example of an exotic hadron which lies outside the conventional quark model classification. A number of different types of tetraquark have been observed.
Exotic hadrons are subatomic particles composed of quarks and gluons,but which –unlike "well-known" hadrons such as protons,neutrons and mesons –consist of more than three valence quarks. By contrast,"ordinary" hadrons contain just two or three quarks. Hadrons with explicit valence gluon content would also be considered exotic. In theory,there is no limit on the number of quarks in a hadron,as long as the hadron's color charge is white,or color-neutral.
Orthocarbonic acid,carbon hydroxide or methanetetrol is the name given to a hypothetical compound with the chemical formula H4CO4 or C(OH)4. Its molecular structure consists of a single carbon atom bonded to four hydroxy groups. It would be therefore a fourfold alcohol. In theory it could lose four protons to give the hypothetical oxocarbon anion orthocarbonateCO4−4,and is therefore considered an oxoacid of carbon.
A two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a scientific model in solid-state physics. It is an electron gas that is free to move in two dimensions,but tightly confined in the third. This tight confinement leads to quantized energy levels for motion in the third direction,which can then be ignored for most problems. Thus the electrons appear to be a 2D sheet embedded in a 3D world. The analogous construct of holes is called a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG),and such systems have many useful and interesting properties.
Magnesium nitride,which possesses the chemical formula Mg3N2,is an inorganic compound of magnesium and nitrogen. At room temperature and pressure it is a greenish yellow powder.
Hexazine is a hypothetical allotrope of nitrogen composed of 6 nitrogen atoms arranged in a ring-like structure analogous to that of benzene. As a neutrally charged species,it would be the final member of the azabenzene (azine) series,in which all of the methine groups of the benzene molecule have been replaced with nitrogen atoms. The two last members of this series,hexazine and pentazine,have not been observed,although all other members of the azine series have.
Potassium azide is the inorganic compound having the formula KN3. It is a white,water-soluble salt. It is used as a reagent in the laboratory.
Hughes–Drever experiments are spectroscopic tests of the isotropy of mass and space. Although originally conceived of as a test of Mach's principle,they are now understood to be an important test of Lorentz invariance. As in Michelson–Morley experiments,the existence of a preferred frame of reference or other deviations from Lorentz invariance can be tested,which also affects the validity of the equivalence principle. Thus these experiments concern fundamental aspects of both special and general relativity. Unlike Michelson–Morley type experiments,Hughes–Drever experiments test the isotropy of the interactions of matter itself,that is,of protons,neutrons,and electrons. The accuracy achieved makes this kind of experiment one of the most accurate confirmations of relativity .
Superdense carbon allotropes are proposed configurations of carbon atoms that result in a stable material with a higher density than diamond.
The Aharonov–Casher effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted in 1984 by Yakir Aharonov and Aharon Casher,in which a traveling magnetic dipole is affected by an electric field. It is dual to the Aharonov–Bohm effect,in which the quantum phase of a charged particle depends upon which side of a magnetic flux tube it comes through. In the Aharonov–Casher effect,the particle has a magnetic moment and the tubes are charged instead. It was observed in a gravitational neutron interferometer in 1989 and later by fluxon interference of magnetic vortices in Josephson junctions. It has also been seen with electrons and atoms.
Iron tetraboride (FeB4) is a superhard superconductor (Tc <3K) consisting of iron and boron. Iron tetraboride does not occur in nature and can be created synthetically. Its molecular structure was predicted using computer models.
Solid nitrogen is a number of solid forms of the element nitrogen,first observed in 1884. Solid nitrogen is mainly the subject of academic research,but low-temperature,low-pressure solid nitrogen is a substantial component of bodies in the outer Solar System and high-temperature,high-pressure solid nitrogen is a powerful explosive,with higher energy density than any other non-nuclear material.
Antonio Barone was an Italian physicist. He was Emeritus Professor of the Federico II University of Naples and Director of the CNR Cybernetics Institute in Arco Felice (Naples),Italy. He is best known for his work on superconductivity and Josephson effect.
SooKyung Choi is a South Korean particle physicist at Gyeongsang National University. She is part of the Belle experiment and was the first to observe the X(3872) meson in 2003. She won the 2017 Ho-Am Prize in Science.
The Penning–Malmberg trap,named after Frans Penning and John Malmberg,is an electromagnetic device used to confine large numbers of charged particles of a single sign of charge. Much interest in Penning–Malmberg (PM) traps arises from the fact that if the density of particles is large and the temperature is low,the gas will become a single-component plasma. While confinement of electrically neutral plasmas is generally difficult,single-species plasmas can be confined for long times in PM traps. They are the method of choice to study a variety of plasma phenomena. They are also widely used to confine antiparticles such as positrons and antiprotons for use in studies of the properties of antimatter and interactions of antiparticles with matter.
Metallization pressure is the pressure required for a non-metallic chemical element to become a metal. Every material is predicted to turn into a metal if the pressure is high enough,and temperature low enough. Some of these pressures are beyond the reach of diamond anvil cells,and are thus theoretical predictions. Neon has the highest metallization pressure for any element.
Alexander Avraamovitch Golubov is a doctor of physical and mathematical sciences,associate professor at the University of Twente (Netherlands). He specializes in condensed matter physics with the focus on theory of electronic transport in superconducting devices. He made key contributions to theory of Josephson effect in novel superconducting materials and hybrid structures,and to theory of multiband superconductivity.
Polynitrides are solid chemical compounds with a large amount of nitrogen,beyond what would be expected from valencies. Some with N2 ions are termed pernitrides. Azides are not considered polynitrides,although pentazolates are.
