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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

For solid water (ice), the melting point is 0 °C., the energy gained by the particles allows them to partly overcome the strong forces holding them in place.

Melting solid below the freezing point Date: January 23, 2017 Source: Carnegie Institution for Science Summary: Researchers have discovered a new phenomenon of so-called metastability in a liquid ...

So the temperature is below the melting point of ice, yet the surface of the ice has melted. This liquid layer on ice crystals is also why snowballs stick together. Skip to main content ...

Supercooled liquids are cooled below the freezing point without turning into a solid or a crystal. view more Credit: Chuanlong Lin and Guoyin Shen, Carnegie Institution ...
