yeah i dont think it stays in that form once you stop squezing it tho ....

#84 - vellichor (06/09/2017) [-]

it's a predicted meta-fluid, so it actually would retain that form after it's stopped being pressurized

Eh, dry ice is similar but with co2 and it takes a good while to sublimate, but this is all without any real research.

#48 - juhuhu (06/09/2017) [-]

ye but dry ice is like that under atmospheric pressure, this is all done under several gigapascals of pressure, and with very small amounts of hydrogen

Things start to get freaky under such conditions

#49 - showzilla (06/09/2017) [-]

Exactly, but hopefully it becomes stable in such a form...like a diamond.

#55 - juhuhu (06/09/2017) [-]

with the techonological advancements we see every day i have no doubt

#11 - What is the practical application of this? [+] (14 replies) 06/09/2017 on EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE +5

#18 - anon (06/09/2017) [-]

Metallic hydrogen is a superconductor at room temperature

#38 - divewithcaution (06/09/2017) [-]

Could we make badass electromagnets with this?

#27 - dmagen (06/09/2017) [-]

it's predicted to be what is called "meta-stable"
which is a fancy name for a material that stays compressed even after the pressure is released from it (think diamond)
if it is, then it would be superconducting at room temp, but since no one managed to make it until this team came along, no one really knows.

#12 - quantumranger (06/09/2017) [-]

If they can figure out how to do it reliably and on the cheap, it would probably be a cheaper way to transport hydrogen than in its gas form.

#46 - uinyaaa (06/09/2017) [-]

but if its meta-stable have fucking fun getting it back to its gas state.
like do u even know what temperatures you would need to get it to become a gas again you may as well just watch it explode from the extreme heat needed to make that even happen
