Scientists have generated pressure levels one and half times greater than those found at the Earth’s inner core using a specialized new double-diamond anvil. Popular Science reports that scientists at ...

An international team of researchers has developed a technique that allows higher-than-ever-before static pressures to be generated in the laboratory, using a newly designed diamond-anvil cell. The ...

A Harvard research group announced the successful creation of solid metallic hydrogen. One of the keys for achieving the pressures needed was special treatment of the diamonds used in the diamond ...

Scanning transmission X-raymicroscopy (STXM) analysis. (A) STXM image of a piece of diamond aerogel nonspecifically adhered to a copper TEM grid. Green line indicates direction of scan for data Scale ...

Australian National University led an international team of scientists have developed a technique to create harder hexagonal diamonds at its purest form. Using a small device called diamond anvil cell ...

Physicists are using an ultra-fast laser-based technique they dubbed "nanoshocks" for something entirely different. In fact, the "nanoshocks" have such a small spatial scale that scientists can use ...
