Hua Y. Geng. Public debate on metallic hydrogen to boost high pressure research[J]. Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2017, 2(6): 275

Instead of praises from colleagues, the claim of observation of metallic hydrogen at 495 GPa by Dias and Silvera met much skepticism, and grew into a public debate at the International Conference on High-Pressure Science and Technology, AIRAPT26. We briefly review this debate, and extend the topic to show that this disputation could be an opportunity to benefit the whole high pressure community.
