AI used to show how hydrogen becomes a metal inside giant planets – Phys.org

Dense metallic hydrogena phase of hydrogen which behaves like an electrical conductormakes up the interior of giant planets, but it is difficult to study and poorly understood. By combining artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics, researchers have found how hydrogen becomes a metal under the extreme pressure conditions of these planets.
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, IBM Research and EPFL, used machine learning to mimic the interactions between hydrogen atoms in order …
