Scientists Have Finally Created Metallic Hydrogen

Bump it!

By applying 4.95 million atmospheres of pressure to liquid hydrogen, Harvard physicists have claimed they were able to make it metallic, a state of hydrogen that had never existed on Earth before. Physicists predict that metallic hydrogen is an authentic superconductor, so if stabilized, it could revolutionize everything from energy storage to rocketry.

Quantum Breakthrough: Physicists Have Once More Created Time Crystals

Bump it!

Two more teams of researchers have found ways to create time crystals, lattices that repeat not in space but in time, breaking time-translation symmetry. Though applications are unclear, the research could help us better understand quantum properties and solve the problem of quantum memory associated with quantum computing.

Sea Levels Are on the Rise, and It’s Not Looking Good

Bump it!

The rate at which ice is melting at the most vulnerable spots on Earth is a cause for concern. This melting coupled with warmer waters is putting coastal areas in danger of increased incidents of flooding, and that flooding being more dangerous. By 2030, in extreme scenarios, the coastal U.S. could see flooding increase 25-fold.

Half of the World’s Energy Must Come From Renewables by 2060

Bump it!

A new study concluded that half of the world's energy must come from renewable sources by 2060 to meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to a maximum of 2°C. This goal is ambitious but achievable if the world commits to a large-scale transfer of technology and capital from the developed to the developing world.
