Virus-sized tiny diamonds, tossed into a liquid under monstrous pressure, lit up and unveiled the secret of uneven compression. This could open the door to materials stronger than steel.

🎯 A pressure of 20 gigapascals (roughly 200,000 atmospheres) can turn soft graphite into diamond—exactly the conditions created in diamond anvil cells.
