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 ...

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

Gold remains solid at extreme temperatures, challenging thermodynamic laws and offering new insights for material design.

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

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 ...

As part of an international team, University of Warwick researchers have helped redefine long-held theories in a landmark experiment where superheated ...

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 ...

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 ...
