That's possible but pretty cynical :/ It might still require some pressure and/or temperature range to stay metallic, so maybe people have tried but only ruled out a few possibilities? I didn't google a lot about what experiments have been done or published. I hope if anything did find it was metastable, the wiki article would be updated. | |
