I'd known of the theoretical aspect of metallic hydrogen at the core of gas supergiants, obv, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, certainly, as well as elsewhere...I'm not surprised, of course, at the likely superconductive aspects, by any means....

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.[2]

Here's the preprint page of the original article...there are numerous commentary preprints on Arxiv, as listed in the last link I'd sent in...I was certainly aware of the effort, and its metallic character on the periodic table, though, of course, not of the piece you'd found...bravo...major kudos, serious bigtime....
