- TL;DR Summary
- Liquid diamonds may occur in the interior of gas giants such as Neptune and Uranus. What is a liquid diamond?
Liquid diamonds apparently may form in gas giants where huge atmospheric pressure compresses carbon into diamonds that are then liquified as they fall downward into zones of increasing pressure. I thought a diamond was a crystal structure of carbon. How can this also be a liquid?
