gigapascals

Specifically, these two metals adopt semiconductor-like (even superconductor-like) characteristics if you subject them to giga-pressure (literally, 80-200 gigapascals).

The inherent tensile strength of a single asbestos fiber, based on the strength of Si-O-Si bonds in the silicate chain, should be near 10 gigapascals (GPa) (1.45 x 106 pounds per square inch [psi]).

Aggregated diamond nanorods have a modulus of 491 gigapascals GPa, compared with 442 GPa for conventional diamond.

At three thousand kilometers into the detectable atmosphere, I was reading ten gigapascals of pressure and a balmy 970K.

I was thinking this: a thousand cubic meters of material, compressed at something like thirty-six gigapascals and a temperature of six thousand degrees Kelvin, might well offer significant thrust if directed out into a pressure of something less than one ten-thousandth of a gigapascal.

From there the temperature and pressure curves steepened until, a mere thousand kilometers below me, at what we gas-moles call the adamapause, the atmosphere precipitated into a mix of ices at 3000K and something like thirty gigapascals.

Even my ship, which has been tested up to about thirty-five gigapascals with conductors running as hot as they can, would become some kind of superheated condensate at that kind of pressure.

But the diamonds don't boil away because of the incredible pressures they're under, something like six hundred gigapascals.
