Abstract: A hydrogen ordering material is provided. The hydrogen ordering material includes a metal having a lattice of metallic atoms forming elementary cells, and at least one hydrogen atom bound to the metallic atoms of the elementary cells to consume a portion of the elementary cells and establish a residual available space having a volume approximately equal to the volume of a free hydrogen atom. Also provided are methods of making and using the hydrogen ordering material, and apparatus containing the hydrogen ordering material.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing stable plasma inside a solid are provided. According to an embodiment of the method, a source of ionic particles is provided, the source being selected from an ionic solution having a pH less than 1.0, plasma gas, and a gas atmosphere. A direct electrical current is applied to a solid, and the ionic particles from the source of ionic particles are introduced into the solid to form plasma. Periodic impulses are applied to the solid to vibrate the solid and stabilize the plasma.
