New Research Suggests Mercury May Have 11-Mile Thick Diamond Layer
Aug 1, 2024, 10:29 PM
Researchers have proposed that Mercury, the solar system's smallest planet and closest to the sun, may have a diamond layer up to 18 kilometers (11 miles) thick beneath its surface. This potential discovery suggests that the diamonds were formed under intense pressure and heat billions of years ago. The findings, according to new research, are based on experiments replicating Mercury's conditions, indicating that its magma could have created such a layer.
