Groundbreaking research is bringing us closer to deciphering the mysterious behavior of liquids in the extreme environments of planetary interiors, with a focus on Venus.
Scientists have successfully compressed super-hot liquids between diamonds to explore how these fluids respond under intense temperature and pressure conditions. This investigation sheds light on the dynamics of liquid density, a challenge that has long puzzled physicists.
John Proctor and his team from the University of Salford have employed advanced techniques utilizing diamonds and lasers to conduct their experiments. Their study involved the compression of various liquids, including water, methane, and ethane, providing valuable insights into the behavior of these substances under conditions reminiscent of those found within celestial bodies.
