Thank you that was extensive answer, do you work currently in the field and what is your field of research if you are employed?

This is the thing I wanted to write about:

http://phys.org/news/2015-11-phase-carbon-diamond-room-temperature.html

in title they are mentioning "make diamond at room temperature" and just in the next sentence they are saying, "During this pulse, the temperature of the carbon is raised to 4,000 Kelvin (or around 3,727 degrees Celsius) and then rapidly cooled."

4000 Kelvin :) (I understand it is pulse but ...)

A perception what the room temperature means is to say the least strange in that article ...

Now let's speculatively jump to that palladium rod and its space between molecules being filed with the deuterium, if you pass high voltage, how can you measure temperature inside of material? And what is the way you know to tell what is going on within those cavities?
