Scientists are on a journey to uncover clues about hydrogen’s most elusive phase—solid metallic hydrogen. The prize for discovering it could be room temperature superconductivity—a world first. But ...

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe. Its molecular-gas state is simple, but its solid state has proved to be complex. In 1935, it was predicted that solid hydrogen should behave like ...

Where do the realms of quantum mechanics and classical physics begin to overlap? It's a long-argued question of philosophical interest and practical importance. Now the world's smallest double slit ...

A group of researchers has identified the key stumbling block of a common solid-state hydrogen material, paving the way for future design guidelines and widespread commercial use. Details of their ...

Seawater may soon fuel ships as hydrogen, producing only steam. Brunel University and Genuine H2 develop scalable, carbon-negative maritime energy solutions ...

New research reported by scientists from NIST and Turkey's Bilkent University makes the surprising prediction that ethylene, a well-known inexpensive molecule, can be an important material for an ...

Reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels sits high on the short list of global research priorities. One strategy calls for powering vehicles with fuel cells that use hydrogen extracted from ...

The time it takes for a single particle of light to pass through a hydrogen molecule is now the shortest duration ever measured. This interval was about 247 zeptoseconds, or trillionths of a billionth ...
