Key Points
- A new form of Hydrogen
- Physicists in Austria have created a new form of hydrogen known as the negatively charged hydrogen clusters.
- At temperatures near absolute zero, each cluster consists of hydrogen molecules arranged around a negatively charged hydrogen ion.
- At the University of Innsbruck, Physicist Michael Renzler and his colleagues infused tiny droplets of liquid helium with hydrogen gas.
- Then, they bombarded the droplets with an electron beam to produce negatively charged hydrogen ions.
- The neighbouring hydrogen molecules clustered around the ion in groups.
- In space, the ions may form naturally in gas giant planets.

- It is a federation of nine states with Vienna as the capital.
- The country shares the border with Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Italy and Switzerland.
