New experiment deciphers an important intermediate step towards a new phase of matter. (Nanowerk News) Usually, hydrogen is a colourless gas. Under ultra-high pressure, however, this simplest of all ...

Physicists and material scientists have been trying to metallize hydrogen for many decades, but they have not yet succeeded. In 1968, British physicist Neil Ashcroft predicted that atomic metallic ...

Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, is normally an insulating gas, but at high pressures it may turn into a superconductor. Now, scientists at the Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C ...

While we often think of chemical elements as immutable – a metal is a metal, a gas is a gas, and so forth – these properties are what we experience on here on Earth. The universe, however, is filled ...

Scientists have been trying to produce metallic hydrogen for decades, but no one has managed to show incontrovertible evidence of success yet. A team of researchers at France’s Atomic Energy ...

Oxford nanoSystems (OnS), a materials technology company, has claimed that its nanoFLUX metallic-alloy coating significantly improves hydrogen production capacity in alkaline electrolyzers by more ...

If you're looking for hydrogen on the elemental chart, it won't take you long to find it. It is right there at the beginning, ...

Hydrogen is the most-abundant element in the universe. It’s also the simplest–sporting only a single electron in each atom. But that simplicity is deceptive, because there is still so much we have to ...
