Above: an image of a diamond anvil cell inside the pressure chamber. Traditionally, a diamond anvil cell works like a vice that squeezes the sample between two single-crystal diamonds to produce ...

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 ...

The mixture was then placed in a diamond cell anvil at the Argonne National Laboratory's Advanced Photon Source in Argonne, Illinois. Schematic of a diamond anvil cell with ruby acting as pressure ...

At Calipso, the California High-Pressure Science Observatory at beamline 12.2.2 of the Advanced Light Source, materials can be squeezed to tremendous pressures in diamond anvil cells, where they ...

A diamond anvil cell consists of two opposing diamonds with the sample compressed between them. It can compress a small piece of material (tens of micrometers or smaller) to extreme pressures ...

Diamonds are pretty darn tough. How tough? Tough enough that squeezing a couple of them together in a molecular diamond anvil — a technique that’s capable of achieving 100 times the pressure ...

The diamond anvil cell used in this experiment. (A) Symmetric Diamond Anvil Cell, (B) Schematic diagram of a diamond anvil. The orange circle is the area corresponding to (C, D) (C) Image of the ...
