I'm not a mathematician but still I'm very interested in Riemann hypothesis. I discovered it with the Numberphile channel. I would like to know what are the current work done of this subject and if there are any promising method to solve it?

You might look at Peter Borwein's recent book "The Riemann Hypothesis: A Resource for the Afficionado and Virtuoso Alike".

This question has been partially addressed at mathoverflow. See the question https://mathoverflow.net/questions/34699/approaches-to-riemann-hypothesis-using-methods-outside-number-theory, which focuses on methods outside number theory, and also https://mathoverflow.net/questions/96642/current-status-of-the-riemann-hypothesis. It appears at present that there is no really promising approach, but I may be very wrong.

    The book "[Prime Numbers and the Riemann Hypothesis][1]". may be of interest, since it is by mathematicians but is mainly intended (it seems to me) for non-mathematicians. While it does not address your question specifically, it has a wealth of information about r.h. and its implications. [1]: http://wstein.org/rh/rh.pdf

    Possibly this blog about a possible connection to quasicrystals would be of interest as well: https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2013/06/quasicrystals_and_the_riemann.html (I didn't intend this to be a comment on a comment).
