🧪 Gold Isn’t Always Inert — Scientists Create Gold Hydride in Lab
Researchers accidentally formed gold hydride — a solid compound of gold and hydrogen — during high-pressure, high-temperature experiments using diamond anvil cells and X-ray lasers. Gold normally doesn’t react, but under extreme conditions beyond Earth’s atmosphere pressures, hydrogen entered the gold lattice to create this unexpected material. The finding challenges assumptions about gold’s chemical behavior and helps scientists study dense hydrogen in planetary and fusion research.
Expert Insight: This discovery shows that even elements long thought unreactive can form new compounds under extreme pressures and temperatures, opening doors to novel materials science.
