Synthetic diamond opens windows into the deep Earth
This AGU Eos feature article describes the critical role of synthetic diamonds in researching the properties of the deep Earth. The physical properties and features of the synthetic diamonds allow scientists to study materials at pressure-temperature conditions ranging from those at Earth's surface to those at the very center of the Earth. In essence, these synthetic diamonds offer new windows into the deep Earth.
