This division is organized to pursue the study of physical properties of condensed matters under extreme conditions such as ultra-low temperatures, ultra-high pressures combined with steady high magnetic fields up to 20 T. In addition to these individual extreme conditions, physics under multiple extreme conditions is also emphasized. Under these conditions, novel phenomena, which cannot be understood in terms of existing theories and thus stimulate the creation of new concepts, are expected. Discoveries of such phenomena have often opened up new horizons in material science. Many outstanding instruments developed in this division, for example, are those which produce low temperatures down to a few tens of μK amd high pressures up to 10 GPa. These machines are frequently used in collaboration with many scientists from all over Japan and abroad. Some of the main subjects are as follows,
