Transport properties like diffusivity and viscosity of melts dictated the evolution of the Earth's early magma oceans. We report the structure, density, diffusivity, electrical conductivity and viscosity of a model basaltic (Ca<sub>11</sub>Mg<sub>7</sub>Al<sub>8</sub>Si<sub>22</sub>O<sub>74</sub>) melt from first-principles molecular dynamics calculations at temperatures of 2200 K (0 to 82 GPa) and 3000 K (40-70 GPa). A key finding is that, although the density and coordination numbers around Si ...[more]
