Scientists turned hydrogen into a metal, possibly creating a superconductor

U.S. scientists have succeeded in squeezing hydrogen so intensely that it turned into a metal, creating an entirely new material that might be used as a highly efficient electricity conductor at room temperatures. The discovery, published in the journal Science on Thursday, provides the first confirmation of a 1935 theory proposed by physicists Hillard Bell Huntington and Eugene Wigner that hydrogen, normally a gas, could occur in a metallic state if exposed to extreme pressure. To achieve this feat, scientists squeezed a tiny hydrogen sample at a pressure that is greater than that at the center of the Earth.

This is the holy grail of high-pressure physics. It’s the first-ever sample of metallic hydrogen on Earth, so when you’re looking at it, you’re looking at something that’s never existed before.

Harvard physicist Isaac Silvera, one of the study’s authors

Several teams have been racing to develop metallic hydrogen, which is highly prized because of its potential as a superconductor, a material that is extremely efficient at conducting electricity. Currently, superconductors such as those used in magnetic resonance imaging machines must be cooled with liquid helium to keep them at extremely low temperatures, which is costly.

I'm now homeschooling my son. This past week, he made this mini "Colossal head" in Social Studies when he studied the Olmec people

My friend died of cancer. I had to take 3 kids to Six Flags and act normal. It's very awkward to be in the middle of a crowded "amusement park" and be crying while the kids are on rides.

How I feel lately

Some drawings I've done..the manga cat girl was drawn for my little Manx who is my profile picture. We had to put her to sleep because of cancer. It was done with manga supplies in my smart art box. I've drawn a lot more since my last post. I couldn't remember where I'd left off in my sketchbook with my tumblr so I just added a few.

A few of my doodles..the max this app would let me use was 50.. I draw something every day, or try to. I don't miss very often. I'm not very good, but, it really helps my nerves.

Stewie and Brian. Brian was drawn in the backseat of the truck as we went across town so he's a bit rough in places. I don't know about Stewie..he's ok for a first try.
