Hold on, hold on! We may have a new world record here. Researchers from Brown University may have found a substance with a melting point that beats out the previous record by a few hundred degrees.

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, 3,422 degrees Celsius. This makes the material ideal for use at high temperatures in e.g. space rocket nozzles, heating elements of ...

Scientists have long known that impurities and flaws in a metal’s crystal structure can lower the material’s melting point. In an unexpected twist, an international research team has dramatically ...

Aluminum and magnesium are among the “many” metals that melt at lower temperatures under extremely high pressure. The results came from a quantum computer simulation, but model real materials ...

Researchers directly filmed an atomically thin crystal melting, revealing an exotic hexatic phase that defies standard ...

The melting point is the basic property of any material, whether it is a ceramic, metal, or plastic. While a DSC can determine the temperature where the heat of crystalline melting takes place, or the ...

Video footage posted on Facebook appears to show a black stone causing a nail to melt. But is it real? Well, probably not. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to ...

If you are in need of a lesson on just how much things have changed in the last 60 years, an anecdote from my childhood might suffice. My grandfather was a junk man, augmenting the income from his ...
