Following a struggle of over 80 years, the hydrogen turned into metal is the most recent achievement of Harvard researchers.

Turning hydrogen into a metal has always been the everlasting dream of all scientists.

Although, succeeding to do this was just as possible as extracting gold from a large variety of chemical elements.

It was against all odds

But, somehow, it became reality.

For this precise reason, Ranga Dias and Isaac Silvera from Harvard University are extremely thrilled because of their recent tests’ results.

Of course, already appeared several groups of skeptics.

Their discovery has been made public by Independent and quoted by many other world publications shortly after that.

The result of their struggle was unbeatable.

The most precious and rarest metal in the world at the same time.

If the researchers will reach the conclusion that it can be widely used and is stable under normal temperature and pressure, the hydrogen turned into metal could revolutionize the world of technology.

Also, the metal could be the basis of ultra-fast computers, high-speed levitating trains or more efficient electric cars.

In fact, everything that has anything to do with electricity will be radically improved.

So, in order to bring the sample of hydrogen in a metallic state, scientists have used a curious method.

They created a higher pressure, applied through two diamonds.

They manufactured an environment having a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 495 Gpa and ‘crushed’ the hydrogen in a diamond vise.

Consequently, the hydrogen converted itself from gas to a solid shiny metal, turning into an unprecedented super electricity conductor.

Currently, the converted hydrogen will stay in the vise for a few weeks while scientists will make sustained efforts to lower the pressure, hoping that it will remain solid.

According to some predictions, it should be stable after the temperature will normalize.

In the coming weeks we will find out more about the hydrogen in a metallic state will be a new, innovative chemical element or not.
