No references found			We subjected a series of gas mixtures of xenon in combination with hydrogen to high pressures in a diamond anvil cell. Scientists discover new hydrogen-storage method by Asian News International To test this, the scientists squeezed a small sample of the material between two diamond anvils, generating pressures inside the sample that were 326,000 times greater than standard atmospheric pressure. Scientists create non-expanding metal by Balochistan Times (Baluchistan Province, Pakistan) However, the nanotube-induced pressures don't rival those produced in the diamond anvils used in many high-pressure studies (SN: 5/14/05, p.
