Just two things of interest:
1) This doesn't take extreme conditions of pressure and temp to make
the diamonds. the 'bulk' mixture came up to 120degC, and was at atmospheric
pressure; so it must be the extreme conditions inside the cavitating bubbles
that is causing the diamond production.
2) The author cites several papers from Taleyarkhan.
