Last month physicists from Harvard University in the US had claimed to have successfully turned hydrogen into a metal - something researchers had been struggling to achieve for more than 80 years... However, the team has now announced that the sample has disappeared. "Were preparing a new experiment to see if we can reproduce the pressures we achieved the first time, and reproduce our metallic hydrogen," said Silvera, who has spent more than 45 years working on metallic hydrogen.

Been there, done that.
Banacek?
All the cigars???
Is he still working?
Alive?
“found inside the gas giants like Jupiter”
No wonder it was so small.
Liftoff from Jupiter is a bitch!
The extra baggage charges $$$
“I thought YOU had it.”
Not me!
I worked in a very nice lab that used hydrogen.
The hydrogen detection systems are like the eighth wonder of the world!
Gas specific!
Lasers and mirrors near the ceiling!
No easy way to bring a sample home.
The researchers are scheduled to present at the American Physical Society meeting held March 13-17 in the Big Easy. They indicate a replication of the experiment will occur over the next several weeks to reproduce their work related to metallic hydrogen. Worth noting that the original experiment was open to outside observers.
Two possibilities exist for the loss of the sample which was 1/5 th the diameter of a human hair: It’s so minuscule that it was lost among the debris of an exploded diamond—or it was not stable and converted back to normal hydrogen when containment pressure was lost.
Same guy who stole all the Ice Nine.
Either Magnesium Aluminate Spinel or Aluminum Oxynitride?
I thought the guard just patted you down when you punched out ...
