The fastest possible speed of sound has been discovered by scientists, according to a new study.
Published in the journal Science Advances, researchers found soundwaves travel at ~ 36 km/s in solid atomic hydrogen – around twice as fast as the speed of sound in diamond, the hardest known material in the world.
Until now, it was not known whether sound waves have an upper speed limit when travelling through solids or liquids.
