Abstract
Scientific advances can be made either in a dramatic and revolutionary manner or in a slow evolutionary way, sometimes covering a span of several years. An example of the latter process is the diamond‐anvil pressure cell, which in about a decade and a half has developed in stepwise fashion from a rather qualitative instrument to the sophisticated quantitative research tool it is today, capable of reaching static pressures in the megabar range.Keywords
