But 2 million bars = 2 Mbar. Surely 100 Mbar is enough, or did I miss something?

- semi-extrinsic 7y agoBah, I messed up the Pascal-bar conversion in the text. Carbon nanotubes have S = 100 GPa = 1 Mbar. Too late to edit now. Thanks for catching this.
- davidhyde 7y agoThanks for these numbers! Can such pressures be attained by other means rather than permanent confinement? For example, the near wall pressure of a collapsing ultrasound bubble reaches about 100 MPa. Three orders of magnitude too little but can this technology be used to achieve much higher pressures? If so I wonder if maintaining an aggregate of material at high pressure (a high pressure foam as it were) would be sufficient to achieve bulk superconductivity.
