- rbanffy 6y agoIf it's a solid in that state, will it remain a solid if you remove the container?

- rbanffy 6y agoOw... That's disappointing.
- ben_w 6y agoI think it’s still an open question if it is metastable (like diamond>graphite), but it definitely wouldn’t be stable. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/308290/are-there-published-predictions-that-hydrogen-could-remain-metallic-at-ambient-p/308301#308301 https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/308290/are-there...
- rini17 6y agoDepends. If you remove the container quickly, then it explodes. Dong it slowly, some of the material evaporates and thus cools the rest, so that you can end up with piece of ultracold solid. But it will most likely not have same properties as the original material.
