![Closely spaced hydrogen atoms could facilitate superconductivity in ambient conditions](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2020-02/Closely_spaced_hydrogen_atoms-correct.png?h=6a4c2577&itok=GBnxpWls)
An international team of researchers has discovered the hydrogen atoms in a metal hydride material are much more tightly spaced than had been predicted for decades — a feature that could possibly facilitate superconductivity at or near room temperature and pressure.

Researchers have long sought electrically conductive materials for economical energy-storage devices. Two-dimensional (2D) ceramics called MXenes are contenders. Unlike most 2D ceramics, MXenes have inherently good conductivity because they are molecular sheets made from the carbides ...
