Often called the Holy Grail of High-pressure physics, Metallic hydrogen is a phase of hydrogen which behaves like an electrical conductor, predicted in 1935. It has been claimed to be produced a few times in a laboratory, but always under skepticism.

Silvera stated that they did not repeat their experiment, since more tests could damage or destroy their existing sample, but assured the scientific community that more tests are coming.
