A diamond anvil cell (DAC) is a scientific device used to generate extremely high pressures and study the properties of materials under those conditions. It consists of two opposing diamonds, which serve as anvils, and a sample placed between them. The diamonds are typically cut into thin plates, and they have exceptional hardness and transparency, making them ideal for high-pressure experiments.
