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), ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

For the first time, physicists have directly measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray ...

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 ...

Due to extreme temperatures and the dryness of Mars, it's thought to be impossible for liquid water to form on the planet's ...

Sailing with two cats: A 16-year-old youth from California has decided to take an ocean cruise by himself, accompanied by two cats. Lee Graham will sail around the world in two years in a 25-foot ...
