Orthey might end up with metallic hydrogen that turns back into a gas under normal temperature and pressure...
...scientists are attempting to apply millions of atmospheres of pressure to the hydrogen by squeezing the molecules between two microscopic diamond chips. By pushing the two chips together at a temperature of approximately-450 degrees, Silvera hopes to attain his goal...
...right now, no one--not even Nature--may be as close as Professor of Physics Isaac F. Silvera to creating metallic hydrogen...
...real revolution in high pressure technique," he says. "Because the area is so small, you don't need that much force." But the real bonus, he says, is that "the diamond gives a window on the experiment. We might actually be able to watch the hydrogen change into the metallic state...
...major concern is whether the metallic-hydrogen will return to a gas once the pressure and temperature are normalized...
