Is the Sun a superconductor?
The Sun consist of a high percentage of hydrogen ~73% and there must be really high pressure at the center.
The suns central pressure is
2.5*10^11 bar according to nasa.

- skykooler 7y agoThe sun is also at a temperature of millions of degrees. At these temperatures, there is no such thing as chemical bonds, and so the rules with hydrogen from the article don't apply.

- agumonkey 7y agointeresting, is this a sub-field of physics ? high temperature physics or something ?
- Nano2rad 7y agoMaybe some properties of stars could be explained by superconductivity.
- adrianN 7y agoHow about the metallic hydrogen that might exist at Jupiter's core?
- 00N8 7y agoit's probably too hot in there, but I wondered the same thing
- madhadron 7y agoNo, it's a plasma. The high pressure in the article is a way of getting to a part of the phase diagram of that particular crystal where the superconducting transition happens at a higher temperature.
