Holy Grail of Physics : Metallic Hydrogen And the Disappearance Of It.

in #science7 years ago

*How does Metallic Hydrogen form ?

_ Last month when two physicists from Harvard University declared that they had successfully turned hydrogen into Metal state, It was something physicists from the past had been struggling to achieved for more than 80 years.

The look of Metallic Hydrogen

The process of turning hydrogen gas to metallic is by putting the hydrogen into the gasket and placing the gasket in between two diamonds and compress it to pressure around 495 GigaPascals ( Around 4,890,000 atm or 71,800,000 psi ) at cryogenic temperatures.


Diamonds Anvil

But although they have created the sample most scientists still having doubt about it, But if they had really created the Metallic Hydrogen this breakthrough could revolutionise the entire industry and almost anything that are involving with electricity, And we could also be able to invent new stuffs such as super fast computers, high speed levitating trains, an ultra-efficient vehicles and new type of rocket fuel.

But recently the world's only piece of Metallic Hydrogen has disappeared, The Metallic Hydrogen was being kept in between two diamonds at great pressure until physicists attempted to do a further tests on it caused the system to break immediately leaving the researcher no trace to find. The researcher said that because the sample is too small perhaps it just laying around somewhere in the room or sadly the metallic reverted back to Gas state.
In next experiments they will try to use different type of synthetic diamond that will hopefully be more stable and the won't keep sample around for too long before doing various measurements and also will perform important tests as rapid as possible .

I wonder where it went? We're planning on talking about this post today on @steemittalk podcast! Cheers!

Cool, i'm looking forward to listening it.
