Private space agencies have slowly but surely stepped into the orbit of the underworld, with plans to take humans to the moon and Mars in the next decade, with potential looting likely to be found in more distant realms.

Researchers at Arizona State University recently published a study detailing the conditions required for so-called information. “Diamond World” Raising exoplanets, as well as a concept-test.

“These exoplanets are not like anything in our solar system.” Said Harrison Allen-Sutter, a geologist at Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration.

Their research is based on the idea that not all stars are created equal and that the chemical composition of planets in a given star system is largely determined by their stars.

According to current estimates, between 12 and 17 percent of planetary systems may have space around carbon-rich stars, a promising antecedent for the diamond world.

Scientists and researchers have already confirmed the existence of carbide planets, initially made of carbon and a handful of other elements, but in order to oxidize and convert them, planets with only a hint of water would have to face silicon carbide (aka ‘diamond’) planets. And carbide in carbon.

Allen-Sutter and his team are working on the idea that with enough heat, pressure and a drop of water, this silicon carbide world can be covered with diamonds. To prove their point, the researchers used a diamond Evil Cell, the test materials involved in extraordinary high pressure.

They submerge samples of silicon carbide in water and then expel the hell out of them at a pressure of about 50 gigapascals at sea level or the Earth’s atmosphere. Adding insult to injury, the team then blasted the scaled specimens with the help of a laser to heat them up.

They ran 18 runs of this test and as per the forecast the silicon carbide samples were broken down and converted into silica and diamond. So the theoretical ‘Diamond Worlds’ is entirely possible, we just need to find it.

For those eager to explore the universe for these diamond worlds, the sweet spot will be the planet with a temperature of 2,500 Kelvin (22,226 degrees Celsius, 4,040 degrees Fahrenheit), a high-pressure atmosphere, and the presence of water above most with silicon carbide shale, some It is worth it to find a diamond.

Researchers warned emerging inter-plan treasure hunters that these worlds would not be hospitable to minerals from afar, as their atmosphere would be toxic for all life as we know it. So some beautiful bee equipment is needed to extract treasures from these extraordinary planets of interstellar Indiana Jones.

In the meantime, upcoming missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will help identify these two diamond worlds as well as the potential for other interesting planets and the abundance of extraterrestrial life potential.
