Yeah not really. They have to crush it in a diamond anvil to extremely high pressures to get it to work. Those who study materials will tell you that that state of matter is a function of both temperature and pressure. For example, at a low enough pressure, water will boil at room temperature. When you increase the pressure, water takes increasing more temperature before it will boil. Thus at a high enough pressure, Water will turn to ice. Thus applying pressure to something seems to be analogous to cooling it. So I think this is a nothing-burger; however, I love to be proven wrong on stuff. Because that how we shed bad ideas and improve.
