Atomistic modelling probes the behavior of matter at the center of Jupiter – Science Daily

Scientists have developed a physics-based machine learning approach to examine the behavior of hydrogen at extremely high pressures. The model reveals evidence of continuous metalization, and so has significant implications for planetary science. More fundame…

The hydrogen atom, with its single proton orbited by a single electron, is arguably the simplest material out there. Elemental hydrogen can nonetheless exhibit extremely complex behavior — at megabar pressures, for example, it undergoes a transition from being an insulating fluid to being a metallic conductive fluid.While the transition is fascinating simply from the point of view of condensed matter physics and materials science — liquid-liquid phase transitions are rather unusual — it also …
