Comment on "Observation of the Wigner-Huntington transition to metallic hydrogen"
arXiv:1704.07601 · doi:10.1126/science.aan2286
Abstract
Dias and Silvera (Letters, p. 715, 2017) claim the observation of the Wigner-Huntington transition to metallic hydrogen at 495 GPa. We show that neither the claims of the record pressure or the phase transition to a metallic state are supported by any data and contradict the authors' own unconfirmed previous results.
