On gas giants, like Uranus and Neptune, are diamond rains
Diamonds are formed from methane under the influence of ultra-high temperatures and davleniya
experiments at Berkeley showed that gas giants such as Uranus and Neptune, the diamonds may fall from the sky. The same goes for brown dwarfs - small dim stars, barely exceeding the size of Jupiter.
On such planets a lot of methane, which under normal to Uranus and Neptune ultrahigh temperature and pressure can turn into diamonds.
According to Laura Robin Benedetti, a graduate of the Faculty of Physics, where diamonds fall from the sky like raindrops or hailstones - a standard chemical reactions that can be recreated on Earth.
The team from Berkeley recreated the facilities and conducted an experiment, and the result was a diamond dust. Scientists uzhali liquid methane in the hundreds of thousands of times at very high atmospheric pressure, and then the pressure liquid focused on the laser beam. As a result of the methane heated up to about 2750 ° C, leading to the formation of diamond dust.
The experiment opens the door to explore the interesting kinds of chemical reactions taking place inside planets and brown dwarfs. Now, when it became possible through technology to reproduce high pressure and temperature of planets and stars, people will be much more reliable information about what is happening there.
