An international experimental research team led by Professor Ho-Kwang Mao and Dr. Cheng Ji from HPSTAR, China and a theory team led by Professor Rajeev Ahuja, Uppsala University, have used experimental research as well as theory to understand high-pressure structural phase transitions in hydrogen which could give rise to metallization and could even result in superconductivity. The findings were published this week in the online edition of Nature.
