Insulating materials can in principle be made metallic by applying pressure. In the case of pure water, this is estimated to require a pressure of 48 Mbars (roughly 48 million times the atmospheric pressure), which is beyond current experimental capabilities and may only exist in the interior of large planets or stars.
In new research, chemists from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Czech Academy of Sciences and elsewhere found that a metallic water solution can be prepared by massive doping with electrons upon reacting water with alkali metals.
