* ABSTRACT
The relation between electronic structure and the crystallographic atomic arrangement is one of the fundamental questions in condensed matter physics and inorganic chemistry. Since the discovery of the atomic nature of matter and its periodic structure, this has remained as one of the main questions regarding the very foundation of solid systems. Needless to say this has also bearings on physical and chemical properties of matter, where again the relation between structure and performance is of direct interest. . From a theoretical point of view high pressure is an ideal type of experiment, since only the volume is changed, which is a very clean variation of the external conditions. In my talk, I will discussed
about the implication of our findings which was published in NATURE recently to understand the Earth\'s Lower mantle and Earth\'s core. I will also talk about the discovery of the hardest known oxide.
