Abstract

The seventy‐year search for metallic hydrogen has demonstrated repeatedly that the hydrogen molecule's simplicity is deceptive. Three generations of theorists have predicted that sufficient pressure would squeeze a crystal of hydrogen into a metallic state, perhaps exhibiting exotic phenomena. Blithely ignoring most of these predictions, hydrogen at high pressures did indeed exhibit some remarkable behaviors, but it stubbornly resisted metallization.
