Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the Universe. They are also, in
principle, the most simple. Nonetheless, they display remarkable properties under extreme …

Accurate x-ray scattering techniques to measure the physical properties of dense plasmas
have been developed for applications in high energy density physics. This class of …

The recent observation of room-temperature superconductivity will undoubtedly lead to a
surge in the discovery of new, dense, hydrogen-rich materials. The rare earth metal …

Synchrotron sources with high photon flux, small source size, and broad energy range have
revolutionized ultrafine characterization of condensed matter. With the addition of the …

Producing metallic hydrogen has been a great challenge in condensed matter physics.
Metallic hydrogen may be a room-temperature superconductor and metastable when the …

Wound infections caused by multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria are hard to treat because of
tolerance to existing antibiotics, repeated infection, and concomitant inflammation. Herein …

Metal hydrides are of inestimable importance for the future of hydrogen energy. This unique
monograph presents a clear and comprehensive description of the bulk properties of the …

Pressure and temperature influence all properties of a chemical system. And determine the
fate of a chemical reaction. Gases—and phase and chemical equilibria involving gaseous …

Hydrogen, the simplest and most abundant element in the Universe, develops a remarkably
complex behaviour upon compression. Since Wigner predicted the dissociation and …

High-pressure transitions are thought to modify hydrogen molecules to a molecular metallic
solid and finally to an atomic metal, which is predicted to have exotic physical properties and …
