In our discussions about potassium that Holmlid uses in his chemistry recipe of cooking up ultra dense hydrogen as a catalyst that promote the production of ultra dense hydrogen through Rydberg blockade, another insight into the catalytic nature of alkali metals has appeared.

Alkali metals seem to have the ability to weave atoms together from selected elements into highly complex crystals and chains.
