In the past couple of decades, the laser-heated diamond anvil cell (combined with in situ
techniques) has become an extensively used tool for studying pressure-temperature …

Voluminous volcanism occurs both along mid-oceanic ridge axes and along island arcs.
Plate tectonics provides a framework for discussing ridge volcanism in terms of upwelling …

Earth's core is structured in a solid inner core, mainly composed of iron, and a liquid outer
core. The temperature at the inner core boundary is expected to be close to the melting point …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

THE temperature distribution in the Earth's core places important constraints on the Earth's
internal heat budget and on models of the geodynamo. The solid inner core crystallizes from …

We report the results of X ray diffraction experiments with the diamond anvil cell to pressures
above 300 GPa at room temperature on pure iron and an iron‐nickel alloy. These data …

DNA has been successfully isolated from both fossilized plant1 and animal tissues2–6. The
oldest material, dated as 25–40 million years old (Tertiary), was obtained from amber …

Laboratory experiments document that liquid iron reacts chemically with silicates at high
pressures (≥ 2.4× 1010 Pascals) and temperatures. In particular,(Mg, Fe) SiO3 perovskite …

Progress in high pressure physics is reviewed with special emphasis on recent
developments in experimental techniques, pressure calibration, equations of state for simple …

High‐pressure melting, phase transitions and structures of iron have been studied to 84 GPa
and 3500 K with an improved laser heated diamond anvil cell technique and in situ high P‐T …
