metallic hydrogen observed?
source: Robert Service, "Metallic hydrogen created in diamond
vise," Science, 355(6323), 332-333, 27 January 2017.
Experiments by Isaac Silvera and Ranga Dias at Harvard. Hydrogen
became "shiny and reddish." Metallic character identified by Raman
scattering. As of 2018 Silvera and Dias stand by their
conclusions.
Neil Ashcroft: "very convincing"Eugene Gregoryanz, "the word
garbage cannot really describe it."
