To understand how fluids behave under extreme conditions, such as those found inside planets, the researchers squeezed super-hot liquids between diamonds.
Physicists have struggled to track how the density of liquids changes at extreme temperatures and pressures. To overcome this challenge, John Proctor Researchers from the University of Salford in the UK used diamonds and lasers.
The researchers compressed several liquids, including water, methane, and ethane…
