美国华盛顿Carnegie研究所的两位地球物理学家已成功地在室温下将氢转变为固体,这是向常温生产金属氢迈出的重要一步。金属氢可用作为高能火箭推进剂。在华盛顿的Carnegie研究所的地球物理实验室里,Peter M,Bell和David HC-Kwang Mao采用金钢石砧槽(diamondanvil cell),在0.01英寸~2的截面上施加1吨的压力,来制 Two geophysicists at the Carnegie Institute in Washington, DC, have succeeded in converting hydrogen to solid at room temperature, which is an important step toward producing metallic hydrogen at room temperature. Metallic hydrogen can be used as a high-energy rocket propellant. In the Geophysical Laboratory at the Carnegie Institute in Washington, Peter M, Bell and David HC-Kwang Mao applied a diamondanvil cell to exert a pressure of 1 ton on a 0.01 in. To 2 cross-section
