Above the world in 80 minutes: Balloon company will fly to the edge of space
Who wouldn't want to see space from the comfort of a balloon capsule? (credit: World View)
There are balloon rides, and then there are balloon rides. And although it may sound like something out of a Jules Verne novel, a company called World View says it will begin taking passengers to the edge of outer space by...
Evidence for a new phase of dense hydrogen above 325 gigapascals
Almost 80 years ago it was predicted that, under sufficient compression, the H–H bond in molecular hydrogen (H2) would break, forming a new, atomic, metallic, solid state of hydrogen. Reaching this predicted state experimentally has been one of the principal goals in high-pressure research for the past 30 years. Here, using in situ high-pressure Raman spectroscopy, we present evidence that at pressures greater than...
