Diamonds Could Be Floating Around Inside Of Saturn

As per the recent planetary analysis scientists discovered that deep atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn might hold large pieces of diamond floating in a mixture of hydrogen/helium fluid. In order to understand the carbon allotropy with respect to diamond across temperature and pressure, the scientists behind the study plotted a phase diagram. This diagram was then combined with the new pressure-temperature statistics of Jupiter and Saturn. The grid indicated that diamond will be in a stable phase in deep interiors but below the region where the stability will not work,…
