The challenge, however, lies in changing hydrogen into a solid metallic state because of the extreme pressure required to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Hypothetically, metallic hydrogen can revolutionize industries like electronics, magnetics and transportation; help reduce the world\u2019s energy problems; and usher in a brand new age of interstellar exploration. Because it can be used as a superconductor at room temperature, it could make electricity distribution more efficient \u2013 no more wasted energy caused by resistance in power lines. And since metallic hydrogen is created under extreme pressure, once it is converted back to its original state, all that pressure will be released, making it the most powerful propellant ever produced, one that can make space travel that much faster.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/wallstreetpit.com\/112820-holy-grail-solid-metallic-hydrogen-finally-created\/\">http:\/\/wallstreetpit.com\/112820-holy-grail-solid-metallic-hy...y-created\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another write up on last week\u2019s news on the Hydrogen metal discovery.
