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

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

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

Using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, the team blasted the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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

In their research article, “ Superheating gold beyond the predicted entropy catastrophe threshold ,” physicists revealed they were able to heat gold to over 19,000 Kelvin (33,740 degrees Fahrenheit), ...

An international team of scientists has simultaneously broken a temperature record, overturned a long-held theory and utilized a new laser spectroscopy method for dense plasmas in a groundbreaking ...
