Hydrogen was first theorized to be capable of being a solid in 1935. It appears that this is possible. If it were to happen we would have a superconductor, and theoretically once you made this Metal Hydrogen (Actually a Metal) you could in theory have a superconductor at room temperatures. Needless to say this is a scientific holy grail. Superconductors are important to power transmission, as they present near 100% efficiency. As well as a room temperature supercapacitor would reduce maintenance. There are also other fuel/energy applications. (as well as explosives)

So AMD's new graphics cards are here, and they are pretty sick... But what's even more sick than hearing about a new graphics card? Owning one for yourself!
Aw yeah man, we are giving away one Polaris 10 video card and one Polaris 11 video card thanks to our good friends over at AMD.
So, how do you enter to win one of these fine graphics cards?
1. Post a comment below telling us what graphics card you're using in your rig and why you want an upgrade to AMD's Polaris lineup. The two winners will be selected at random, so no, the content of your comment doesn't REALLY matter, but this is more fun than seeing 800 posts of "I want it" or "gibe nao pls." One comment (entry) per user.
2. Check back here in about a week when the names of our two winners will be added to the OP (giveaway execution is an art not a science people, so I apologize in advance if winners aren't announced in exactly one week).
3. Check your inbox here on the forum to make sure you didn't miss it. Our winners' usernames will be added to the OP here, so if you have any question about the legitimacy of a congratulatory message regarding this giveaway, please be sure to check back here and see if your name has been added.
And, while this isn't a requirement, feel free to give our friends over at @AMDRadeon on Twitter a follow.
Winners will be PMed from this account on the forum. Please do not consider winner messages from any other user in regards to this giveaway.
This giveaway is worldwide with no age restriction.
Best of luck to all!!
EDIT: Winners
Polaris 10 winner: Alright, SOMEONE needs to take this GPU! Let's see if @UltraNeonGaming wants it you have 72 hours to respond @Herb12 UPDATE: New winner for Polaris 10 is
Polaris 11 winner: @OnlyNeedJuan
Congrats to our winners! They have 72 hours to respond. If we don't hear back in that time, a new winner (or new winners) will be selected.
