391:. New compounds and materials are prepared and studied at up to a million atmospheres and thousands of degrees Celsius using spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. He studied the properties and structure of liquids, amorphous solids and biological molecules at high pressure. McMillan has contributed across numerous fields and has published work relating to solid state inorganic/materials chemistry, high pressure-high temperature research, amorphous solids and liquids, vibrational spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering, mineral physics, graphitic carbonitrides, battery materials and the response of bacteria to high pressures.
