Researchers discover tin hydride with properties of strange metal

https://phys.org/news/2023-08-tin-hydride-properties-strange-metal.html

"chemical interaction between tin and hydrogen through electric transport measurements and synchrotron X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction... high-pressure diamond anvil cells with 2 diamond anvils that forcefully press to each other. Inserted SnH4 between them, when pressed, area 50 µm experiences pressure 2–2.5 million atm... SnH4 becomes semiconductor, then metal, then superconductor... bridge between cuprate and hydride (room temperaturee for later) superconductivity at high pressures"
