Researchers have discovered that under extreme pressure, sodium’s electrons remain bonded to atoms, causing it to become a transparent insulator. This finding challenges previous theories and provides insights into the atomic behavior of matter in celestial bodies. Credit: SciTechDaily.com
Scientists reveal how the element’s electrons chemically bond when under pressures like those found below Earth’s crust.
Travel deep enough below the Earth’s surface or inside the center of the Sun, and matter changes on an atomic level.
The mounting pressure within stars and planets can cause…
