Please research a "National Geographic Magazine's" article on Bell Lab's research using the first diamond anvils, to test the reaction of various materials under extreme compression. The article appeared in an issue in the early to mid-1960's, and I don't remember which one.
It stated that during the research, again, if my memory is correct, the Bell Lab had compressed water to approximately 1/2 of it's normal volume, (Don't think it mentioned if Bell achieved a "solid" ice or not) using the new diamond anvil technology. In addition, the article included that Bell had compressed granite "until it would flow like tar".
