Breakthrough in Crystal Structure Prediction Supports Theory on Neptune's Interior Heat

Stony Brook University Professor of Geosciences and Physics, Artem Oganov, along with several colleagues, appears to have solved the long-standing mystery of excessive heat on the planet Neptune. Using Oganov's innovative method for crystal structure prediction, the researchers have established support for theory that the sinking of massive amounts of diamond in Neptune's interior creates its heat.
