With the assistance of other metals, scientists are converting water into another metal.
While Alchemy, a technique that transforms any common metal into gold, has not yet been developed, scientists have succeeded in transforming water into metal.
Water is a good electrical conductor, but unless it is put under great pressure, it does not become “metallic.” Experts altered the state of water, transforming it into an altogether different element with the aid of other metals.
The experiment was initially carried out in 2021, and a paper from that same year was released in July. Public access to the method’s videos is now available on YouTube.
After clean water comes into touch with alkali metals that share electrons, the change takes place. In this instance, scientists used a sodium and potassium alloy.
A drop of this alloy was exposed to a tiny amount of water vapor. The droplet got bigger as the water vapor started to condense.
However, the explosive reaction between alkali metals and water is an issue. Although the experiment was carried out in a vacuum, the same technique can be extremely hazardous in everyday settings.
