Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Johns Hopkins University have unlocked new secrets about the interiors of super-Earth exoplanets, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of these distant worlds.
Diamond is one of the hardest materials known to man, but experts think it can be squashed into something even harder, according to indy100 news site. While it was previously thought to be one of the hardest materials because of its tetrahedral lattice, which is an incredibly rugged particle structure, experts have figured out a way to transform it into something even harder, it said. Physicists from the US and Sweden have come up with a simulation that is believed to be 30 percent more resistant to compression than diamonds.
The discovery of more than 4,500 extra-solar planets has created a need for modelling their interior structure and dynamics. As it turns out, iron plays a key role.
There have been limited experimental observations of high-velocity particle-laden flow interactions, given the challenging nature of producing high-velocity flows of many particles.
