Materials can be pressurized in other materials. Like a soda can. Curious to see what materials can easily handle maintaining 10 kilobars of pressure.
ChatGPT says Titanium, Tungsten, and Stainless Steel can handle above 10k. Even carbon fiber can. Imagine a tiny resistor-like component where inside is pressurized superconductor. Like a tiny capacitor.

- Dylan16807 4y agoFunny you mention glass cracking because tempered glass has the same kind of internal pressure. Safety glass on a car has nearly a kilobar. It breaks up without blasting apart.
- snovv_crash 4y agoPressure != Energy. If it's a very stiff (aka brittle) material, then it doesn't deform enough to actually contain much energy even at high pressure.
- dermesser 4y agoMaterial stress doesn't work like a soda can. Epitaxial thin films are stressed by an underlying lattice, for example, not by being squeezed in some container. These stresses can be very high (although i don't know the order of magnitude off the top of my head)
