Metallic Silane: Unlocking High-Temperature Superconductivity

The findings are published this week in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). Hydrogen is the the one of most abundant and lightest element in the universe, and it has been speculated already fifty years back that metallization in pure hydrogen could lead to room- temperature superconductivity, which has been an open question till now. But enormous pressure would be required to compress hydrogen sufficiently in order to achieve this metallic state. …
