Heating that lasted only trillionths of a second raised a gold sample’s temperature to 19,000 K without melting it, a study ...

New Materials that melt at temperatures higher than 4000C. How do you increase the melting point of materials that already melt at ultra-high temperatures? For the past five years, Vecchio has led a ...

Tracking melting points above 4000 degrees Celsius With a new grant, a UC San ... New cutting tool materials with much higher melting temperatures would enable faster manufacturing.) ...

Researchers have been able to heat up a sample of solid gold to over 14 times its melting temperature for a fraction of a second, bypassing a theoretical limit known as the entropy catastrophe. The ...

The numbers shocked the team. Gold, typically expected to melt around 1,337 kelvins, reached a staggering 19,000 kelvins ...
