Researchers shed light on physical properties of carbon at extreme conditions

A team based in Livermore has shed some light on the phase diagram of carbon at high pressure and temperature. In particular, the authors determined the solid/liquid and solid/solid phase boundaries for pressures up to 20 million atmospheres and more than 10,000 degrees Kelvin.
