from Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique, France in 2002, have shown that at pressures close to those at the center of the Earth 3200000 - 3400000 atm and temperatures of 100 - 300 K, hydrogen is still not a true alkali metal, because of the non-zero band gap. The quest to see metallic hydrogen in laboratory at low temperature and static compression continues. Studies are also ongoing on deuterium.
