Metallic hydrogen thought to contain a lot of liquid metallic hydrogen, which may be responsible for their observed powerful magnetic fields. Metallic hydrogen Metallic hydrogen is a phase of hydrogen in which it behaves like an electrical conductor. This phase was predicted in 1935 on theoretical grounds by Eugene Wigner and Hillard Bell Huntington. At high pressure and temperatures, metallic hydrogen can exist as a liquid rather than a solid, and researchers think it is present in large quantities in the hot and gravitationally compressed interiors of Jupiter, Saturn, and in some exoplanets.
