The 21 cm spectral line emission of atomic neutral hydrogen (HI) is one of the primary wavelengths observed in radio astronomy. However, the signal is intrinsically faint and the HI content of galaxies depends on the cosmic environment,…

[Abridged] We study the abundance and clustering properties of HI at redshifts $z\leqslant5$ using TNG100, a large state-of-the-art magneto-hydrodynamic simulation of a 75 Mpc/h box size. We show that most of the HI lies within dark matter…
