Metallic hydrogen is a highly compressed form of hydrogen found in gas giants and stars. It was first synthesized in 1996 under extreme laboratory conditions and may have the potential to be a room temperature superconductor. It is thought to exist in the cores of Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun. Metallic hydrogen is a kind […]
Wire gauze is a mesh-like structure made from various metals and used in laboratories as a heat diffuser and support for glassware. It has other applications in industries, home improvement, and arts and crafts, including as a filter and a base for art projects. Wire gauze is a type of laboratory equipment most often used […]
Metallic bonds hold metal atoms together with delocalized electrons floating through the lattice, giving metals unique properties such as conductivity and malleability. The lattice structure of complete atoms allows electrons to migrate through the lattice, creating stronger bonds with closely spaced atoms. The delocalized electrons also allow for excellent conductivity, and the metallic bond allows […]
