Until recently, magnesium hydride could only be produced in laboratories at the pace of a few grams per day.

This is because binding hydrogen with magnesium requires high temperatures and pressure. Accidental exposure to the air during the manufacturing process can lead to deadly explosions.

Earlier this year, China launched a magnesium hydride plant in the northwestern province of Shaanxi that can produce a staggering 150 tonnes of the material per year. Developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, the plant has achieved low production costs using a “one-pot synthesis” method, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

at this point its actually comedic how china is effortlessly having the '96 Bulls season of national development lmfao

Very much. I tell my chud parents China is doing what we should have been doing since the 70's when the Saudis turned off the tap while we decided to use our resources to blow the world up to stick to oil. It still doesn't click how much wasted potential the UsA has been and how that led to the shitty reality we're in now.
