Saturday Morning Physics | Searching for Habitable Worlds Through Diamond Windows
Jie (Jackie) Li, Professor of Mineral Physics and Geochemistry (U-M)
In the solar system the Earth is the only planet known to harbor life. Are we alone? Is there any habitable world among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date? This talk will introduce high pressure experiments that shine brilliant light through diamond windows to search for clues to planetary habitability.
