Hi,
two researchers from the Max Planck institute say, they have made
metallic hydrogen at a pressure of 220GPa.

This was tried before, but never had success.
Metallic hydrogen is believed to be superconducting at room temperature.
This is mainstream science, but I think there could be a link to cold
fusion.
It was shown by computersimulation, that under high pressures
metalhydrides can exist that dont exist under normal conditions. For
example NaH9. This material is expected to be superconductive at room
temperature or some 100 degrees above room temperature.
The pressure needed is about 50 GPa.
In such a superconductor the hydrogen electrons and also protons should
behave very differently.
They behave like a superfluid and are entangled.
Possibly under these conditions proton tunneleling through the columb
wall is possible?
It was my thougt, cold fusion could come from superconductive
metalhydrides inside the lattice under exceptional conditions when a
high hydrogen concentration and pressure can be reached in microscopic
cavities. These metalhydrides can be very different from those hydrides
that are known to chemists, because under high pressures the rules of
chemistry changes.
It might be possible to create superconducting spots in a metal lattice
and this might be a precondition for cold fusion. This would also
explain bad reproducibility, because those spots are probably unstable.
There are reports about superconductive spots in nickelhydride
thinfilms. These where also made by mainstream scientists that never had
cold fusion in mind.
