It sounds like science fiction, but as much as 10 million
tons of diamonds may be stored in Saturn and Jupiter, researchers announced
this week. Observational evidence of storms on Saturn that actively generate
carbon particles, combined with new laboratory experiments and models that show
how carbon behaves under extreme conditions, have led a pair of scientists to
posit that both planets may offer stable environments for the formation of
diamonds.
