Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

An illustration of how cubic titanium nitride with a three-to-four ratio can be synthesized under extreme pressures and temperatures in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

To make the new iron compound, physicist Kei Hirose of the University of Tokyo and his colleagues squeezed iron and helium together in a diamond anvil cell, a high-pressure device that subjected ...

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth's core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...

laser- and resistively-heated diamond anvil cells and a laser milling machine for the preparation of sample assemblies with unparalleled precision. 1 atm furnaces We have two GERO™ vertical tube ...

This discovery, made using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell, challenges decades of scientific knowledge. By subjecting iron and helium to pressures of up to 55 gigapascals and temperatures close to 3 ...
