Scientists At Harvard University Claim They Have Created Metallic Hydrogen – A Material That, Until Now, Existed Only In Theory

Metallic hydrogen was a ghost material, predicted theoretically in 1935 by two physicists, Eugene Wigner and Hillard Bell Huntington. The two scientists came to a conclusion that, under a colossal pressure hydrogen atoms could display metallic properties, but all predictions stayed just a theory because the amount of pressure needed to transform hydrogen into a metal was just too high to be recreated artificially back then. The hypothesis predicts that, although the material can’t be found on the Earth, metallic hydrogen could exist inside cores of gas giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and a number of extrasolar
