About the Cover: A time-integrated photograph of a laser shot at the OMEGA facility at the University of Rochester to study diamond melt under high pressure. This ground-breaking research was an outgrowth of Livermore Laboratory Directed Research and Development project 09-SI-005, “Physics and Chemistry of the Interiors of Large Planets: A New Generation of Condensed Matter,” in which researchers measured the melt curve of diamond up to 11 Mbar—the highest pressure ever achieved for a solid in the laboratory ...
