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

Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a ...

With fast heating, sheets of gold can shoot past the theoretical maximum temperature a solid can have before it melts – ...

Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. The feat was completely unexpected ...

Physicists superheated gold to 14 times its melting point, disproving a long-standing prediction about the temperature limits ...

This is the so-called entropy catastrophe. This critical temperature, where a superheated solid and a liquid have the same entropy, is around three times the melting temperature. Gold has a melting ...

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

A 50 nm thick sheet of solid gold was heated well beyond a theoretical limit, suggests new study — plus, what researchers think about the threat of nuclear war. This YouTube video cannot be played due ...

Advanced cooling solutions are crucial for the further development of modern technologies. Additive manufacturing (AM) helps to remove many of the conventional design constraints and thereby enables ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

This article was originally published with the title “Melting Point and Transformation of Sulphur” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 9 No. 42 (July 1854), p. 334 doi:10.1038 ...

A bison in Yellowstone National Park appeared to stumble into the scalding water of Grand Prismatic Spring, causing its death as tourists looked on during the park's busiest season.
