Oxygen molecule survives to enormously high pressures

Using computer simulations, a RUB researcher has shown that the oxygen molecule is stable up to pressures of 1.9 terapascal, which is about nineteen million times higher than atmosphere pressure. Above that, it polymerizes, i.e. builds larger molecules or structures. In cooperation with colleagues from University College London, the University of Cambridge, and the National Research Council of Canada, the researcher also reports that the behavior of oxygen with increasing pressure is very complicated.
