Thanks. I'm wondering now if there are no (more? diamonds are good for something) useful compounds to made under high pressure, or if it's just a matter more time being needed for research.

There's plenty of neat new stuff to be discovered in high pressure regimes, and I'm sure there will be reseach on it for quite some time.

I wasn't objecting to the paper itself, I object to the vastly overblown hype. The research itself is probably valid if relatively uninteresting, but it certainly does not live up to the claims given.
