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 – ...

This is the so-called entropy catastrophe. This critical temperature, where a superheated solid and a liquid have the same ...

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

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 ...

Breakthrough in melting point prediction: Over 100-year-old physics problem solved. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 03 / 240318142220.htm ...

To keep things simple, we usually measure melting points at 1 atmosphere (101,325 Pascals). Under these conditions, tungsten melts at 3,414°C (6,177°F), the highest melting point of any element.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is already melting; between 2003 and 2016, it lost about 255 gigatons (billions of tons) of ice each year. Much of the melt to date has been in the southern part of the ice ...
