Diamonds as key planetary geology
Vidulini
Our civilization worships rare materials, gold, silver, diamonds .. The underlying principle of these economies for millennia, but the glittering diamonds to the worlds like Uranus and Neptune were completely worthless commodities show you exact latest research from the U.S..
Diamond, best female friend, could give us the answers to crucial questions Planetologist and geologists around the origin and evolution of gas giants such as Uranus or Neptune. Research conducted by Jon Eggert and his team from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with the Omega laser at the University of Rochester gave us unreal, a little film screenplay. Although I Eggert points out that their conclusions must now be taken with caution, be liquid carbon at which icebergs floating diamond could be a lot more than just a hypothesis!
Diamond is the hardest material on earth. To prevent the possibility of creating special conditions are required by Vemo difficult to achieve in laboratory conditions. However, Egger and his team were able to reach pressures of 4.000 Giga Pascal (40 mega bar to forty million times higher pressure than that which we feel standing on the earth!) And the temperature of a whopping 110 000 ° C. These are about the conditions prevailing in the centers of gaseous giants. Place and conditions perfect for the formation of diamonds! Contrary to previously accepted theories about the structure of their nuclei, (water ice, dry ice, methane ..) According to these studies, it could be substantially different. Such a scenario would explain the problem of unexplained magnetic fields of these planets. All materials and conditions which are obtained in the laboratory of experimental micro-quantities of diamonds exist on them.
Uranium is the core may be filled with diamonds
During the experiment, obtained by micro quantities of very small diamonds (2 × 0.5mm), but when the process pressure 6-11 bar mega noted that the diamond structure floating on the liquid carbon. Like an iceberg on the water.
Scene from the Eggert lab in which they were created micro-diamonds
Eggert says that all this pointed to the current or gelatin core at the center of the spheres in which they swim a real diamond, but to confirm this hypothesis needs to make lots of measurements and experimentation. We still know very little about the planets of the solar system. It is sufficient that only some of the parameters to be changed slightly so that there is instability of molecules and thus preventing the process of creating diamonds. However, if you have a diamond ring on his hand, know that perhaps the understanding of the formation of the key pieces of luminous planetary geology slides of giant planets, as well as our other planetary systems throughout the universe. Science, astronomy and in this case shows that it is not something "far away and foreign," but something that is literally at your fingertips ..
