Physicists have synthesized crystals of iron-hydrogen alloy, a material predicted to exist in the core of Earth and other planets. The alloy was created by subjecting a mixture of iron and hydrogen to extreme pressures and temperatures in a diamond anvil cell. The crystals have unusual magnetic and electrical properties that could help us understand the dynamics and evolution of planetary interiors.
