pressures that were beyond the highest possible
pressures attainable in the laboratory with instruments called
diamond anvil cells.
To generate an accurate picture of the temperature profile within the Earth's centre, scientists can look at the melting point of iron at different

diamond anvil cells (DAC), the team applied 2.5 GPa of
pressure (25 thousand atmospheres) to pre-compress water into the room - temperature ice VII, a cubic crystalline form that is different from «ice - cube» hexagonal ice, in addition to being 60 percent denser than water at ambient
pressure and temperature.
