Scientists have managed to create artificial lava

Ученым удалось создать искусственную лавуScientists have learned how to create lava in the lab.

In the experiment, they managed to create the first samples of artificial lava in the laboratory that was developed from molten special kind of basalt. One of the most important results of the conducted experiment is the possibility to study in detail the time behavior of the magma not only in natural conditions but in a laboratory.

According to some reports, the plans scientists have listed a number of important studies that are likely to take place soon. According to scientists, one of the most important their planned experiments include the study of the interaction of lava with water and ice.

This study extends on the first place in order of importance, thus surpassing other experiments due to its theoretical explosion hazards. Since the combination of lava, water and ice can cause a serious explosion with a wide radius of distribution, then to explore it in practice becomes not just necessary, but mandatory.

The scientists are going to experiment to identify which combination and proportion of water and lava can cause an explosion and which are not. First, the researchers intend to restrict the usual Cup of artificial magma mini-experiment. After all, even such a minor quantity of dangerous mixtures will provide answers to many questions.
