Iron oxide, when subjected to extreme conditions of temperature and pressure, undergoes a novel transition.
With temperatures up to 2200C and pressures up to 1.4 million times that of sea-level, the metal changed to a state where it could conduct electricity without undergoing any change in structure.
The finding could have implications in the study of how the Earth's interior contributes to the planet's magnetic field.
The group of scientists running the experiment claim to have found a new type of metallisation.
