Metallic hydrogen, a bizarre form of the element that conducts electricity even at low temperatures, has finally been made in the lab, 80 years after physicists predicted its existence. Scientists ...

What was once theory is now reality after a pair of scientists successfully turned hydrogen into metal, 80 years after it was first suggested. For fuels, superconductors and more materials, this is a ...

Hydrogen is not a metal on Earth, but scientists keep trying to create metallic hydrogen under high pressure to unlock a new superconductor. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

It obviously comes with a few caveats that make it uncertain that it would be feasible (let alone possible) and certainly a long way away, but a metallic hydrogen rocket is a something that could ...

I've got a guilty secret that I can now share—I loved the Delta IV Heavy rocket. No, I didn't love the price, which was preposterous, at times approaching $400 million. This precluded Delta from ...

In what is a major breakthrough, a team of researchers created a new class of materials using hydrogen, to create a superconductor like no other. In a future where transport systems like the Hyperloop ...

BENGALURU: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is working on developing a hydrogen fuel-propelled upper stage rocket of 60-70 tonnes capacity for launching India’s first manned moon mission, ...

After three unsuccessful attempts, NASA's Space Launch System moon rocket finally made it through a dress-rehearsal countdown and fueling test Monday, but another hydrogen leak caused problems that ...

Plans to launch NASA's mega Moon rocket have slipped to late September — at the earliest — to allow more time for testing. The second attempt to lift off was scrubbed at the beginning of this month ...
