Hydrogen can finally into metal.
TheABELBOTO:
what does it look like
SWAT One:
To give another perspective on the density of metallic hydrogen, it's at the core of Jupiter, which is ≈ 317.816 times the mass of Earth, and ≈ 2.528 times the gravity of Earth. You need something of astronomically strong gravity to create it naturally.

extremely lightweight building material (the next aluminum revolution, potentially) + it's a superconductor AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

cheap isn't going to happen any time soon, however I assume processors made of the stuff would be far more efficient than what we have today
