Mikhail Ivanovich Eremets (3 January 1949 – 16 November 2024) was a Belarusian experimentalist in high pressure physics, chemistry and materials science.

[2] Part of his research contains exotic manifestations of materials such as conductive hydrogen, polymeric nitrogen and transparent sodium.

In 1978 he received his PhD at the Moscow Institute of General Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Additionally he was interested in polymeric nitrogen, the synthesis of novel high energy density materials, the stability of diamonds, extending the present high static pressure limits over 500 GPa and the synthesis of molecules at pressure and temperature conditions occurring in the Earth mantle.

In a Nature paper published in summer 2015 Eremets describes how hydrogen sulfide conducts electricity without resistance at minus 70 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 1.5 million bar.
