Scientists Converted Water to Iron

The philosopher’s stone was an object that all alchemists tried to produce in the 15th century. According to alchemists, thanks to this stone any desired matter could be turned into gold . The stone was also believed to give immortality at the same time. In fact, the French alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who allegedly discovered the stone, not found in his grave after deathIt is also shown by many as proof that the stone was actually produced.

at one point Harry Potter It is customary that this story, which is even a bet on his books, is not true, and it is quickly known by almost everyone. But scientists, after long struggles, finally ” modern ideology stone ” discovered. Thanks to a new pathway found, water has been successfully “turned into metal”.

Looks like metal, durable as metal

The only thing needed to make water as reinforced as metal is, according to research at the Czech Academy of Sciences. compression of atomsRealizing that this is not the case, scientists have almost succeeded in transforming “one substance into another” that has been imagined for centuries.

It is a metal alloy that is liquid at room temperature by exposing the atoms of water, which is normally an insulating element, to 48 times the pressure of the earth after compressing it. sodium-potassium Adding scientists, they accomplished this work under special conditions in a sea-level laboratory. After the experiments metal alloy charged with positive ionssuccessfully combining it with water, scientists found that the outer surface of the water covered in yellow like goldand stated that water has the same properties as an ordinary metal.

The main aim of the research was not to convert water into metal. Scientists believe that matters and alloys found in high-pressure environments on exoplanets to better understand how it will appear on the planets they are doing this experiment. For example, on Jupiter, there are elements such as “metallized water” that emerged in this experiment. was confirmed.

Scientists continue their research on metallized water and for this alloy hopes to discover innovative uses.
