Is 10 gPa (is that the right capitalization for gigaPascal? Gigapascal? GigaPascal?) anyway? Is that something routinely used in the lab or in production of commercial materials like chips or other electronic equipment?

10GPa is about 100k atmosphere or 1500ksi or 1.5 million psi. The best steels in the world are what are called maraging steel and they're 500ksi. Normal mild steel might only be 30ksi. So it's going to be tough to recreate this outside the lab I suspect.

  Prefix name: giga
  Prefix symbol: G
  Unit name: pascal
  Unit symbol: Pa
