Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the Universe. They are also, in
principle, the most simple. Nonetheless, they display remarkable properties under extreme …

During the past five years, major progress has been made in the experimental study of solid
hydrogen at ultrahigh pressures as a result of developments in diamond-cell technology …

Producing metallic hydrogen has been a great challenge in condensed matter physics.
Metallic hydrogen may be a room-temperature superconductor and metastable when the …

Metal hydrides are of inestimable importance for the future of hydrogen energy. This unique
monograph presents a clear and comprehensive description of the bulk properties of the …

Plasma physics is an integral part of statistical physics, complete with its own basic theories.
Designed as a two-volume set, Statistical Plasma Physics is intended for advanced …

A determination of the ruby high-pressure scale is presented using all available appropriate
measurements including our own. Calibration data extend to 150 GPa⁠. A careful …

Quantum crystals abound in the whole range of solid-state species. Below a certain
