With the rapid emergence of diamond-anvil cell (DAC) research as a major dimension in physical sciences, the literature is growing at an explosive rate. A comprehensive discussion of any one of the sections could easily fill a whole book. Therefore, our strategy is to introduce the essential concept for each subject, lay out the key background, then jump to the latest activities on technical developments, mineral physical applications, current problems, and future prospects. Ample references are provided for readers who seek a deeper understanding of these topics.
