Scientists crushed diamond beyond Neptune-like pressures—and solved a 20-year mystery

This exciting study reveals how scientists have finally cracked the mystery of diamond's behavior under extreme pressures, like those found on Neptune. By using advanced techniques, they managed to measure how diamond melts at pressures three times greater than Earth's core. The findings not only align experimental results with quantum simulations but could also enhance energy gain in fusion experiments. It's fascinating to think that diamonds might rain down on distant planets, and now we understand a bit more about how they behave in such conditions!
