Physicists have successfully isolated "massless" Dirac electrons, revealing their weightless nature and unprecedented velocity, while also uncovering their significant role in topological materials. This achievement required creating extreme conditions and specific spin manipulation. The study broadens our understanding of quantum behavior and opens new doors for the development of cutting-edge electronic devices and materials, marking a monumental leap forward in harnessing the potential of quantum physics for real-world applications.

Physicists have long theorized that metallic hydrogen could exist under certain conditions, and recent research has made progress in creating it. By subjecting hydrogen to extreme pressures using a diamond anvil cell, scientists have observed the transition of hydrogen from a gas to a solid state, and potentially into a metallic state. Metallic hydrogen is believed to exist in the interior of Jupiter and could have applications as a superconductor. However, the challenges of achieving and studying metallic hydrogen make it unlikely to be used in industry anytime soon, leading researchers to focus on hydrides as a more feasible alternative.
