Cold melting and solid structures of dense lithium
2011
A tour-de-force study finds that as the pressure of lithium is increased to 50 GPa, its melting point drops to 190 K—the lowest yet observed of any elemental metal. The results suggest lithium could be a promising candidate for exploring exotic states of matter similar to that predicted for metallic hydrogen.
