Magnesium oxide might be liquid in super-Earths There may be more planets outside our solar system with protective magnetic fields than previously thought. That's the implication of a US study, which has demonstrated that the common planetary mineral magnesium oxide turns into a metallic liquid at high pressure. |

Hydrogen That Mimics Graphene Researchers claim to have discovered a new phase of hydrogen in which the diatomic molecules break apart to form six-atom rings, similar to graphene. The new phase, which occurs at very high pressures, could be a stepping stone towards a long-sought after phase: metallic hydrogen. |
