The study of structure, thermodynamic state, equation of state (EOS) and transport properties of warm dense matter (WDM) has become one of the key aspects of laboratory astrophysics. There has been a rapid increase in interest and activity in this field over the last two decades owing to many technological advances including not only the commissioning of high energy optical laser systems, zpinches and X-ray free electron lasers, but also short-pulse laser facilities capable of generation of novel particle and X-ray sources. Many new diagnostic methods have been developed recently to study WDM in its full complexity. This paper provides a broad review of the most recent experimental work carried out in this field with a special focus on the methods used. Most of the diagnostic techniques recently established to probe WDM are also described. Some relevant theoretical and computational efforts related to WDM and astrophysics are mentioned in this review.
