Скачать или смотреть Scientists ACCIDENTALLY Create a New Form of Gold That Shouldn't Exist

🧪 In a stunning accidental discovery, scientists have created a never-before-seen gold compound that rewrites the rules of chemistry. Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory were trying to make diamonds from hydrocarbons when they unexpectedly created solid gold hydride—a compound made only of gold and hydrogen atoms.

This is revolutionary because gold is famously "boring" and unreactive, which is why we use it in jewelry and electronics. The compound only forms under extreme pressure and heat (over 3,500°F) and offers a new window into the behavior of materials inside planets and stars.

🔬 Key Breakthroughs:
✔️ Unexpected Reaction: Gold foil, meant only to absorb X-rays, reacted with hydrogen under extreme conditions.
✔️ "Superionic" State: Hydrogen atoms moved freely within a solid gold lattice, enhancing conductivity.
✔️ Planetary Science: Provides a model for studying dense hydrogen found in the interiors of giant planets.
✔️ Fusion Research: Could offer new insights into nuclear fusion processes inside stars.
✔️ New Chemistry: Proves that entirely new compounds can form under extreme pressure and temperature.
