Observation of the Wigner-Huntington Transition to Solid Metallic Hydrogen — mentioned by rsfern

Looks like it'll be a few months before we know if it's metastable at ambient pressure; they're planning to do the pressure release experiments at one of the national labs [0]. Here's the preprint [1] of the Science paper [2], and the HN discussion [3]. [0]: http://harvardmagazine.com/2017/01/metallic-hydrogenhttp://h...

Apparently, this was pre-published in October. Previous discussion here[0], ArXiv link here[1]. The news today is the peer-reviewed version in Science of the same paper, as I understand it. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12875868 [1]: https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.01634
