Abstract: With the miniaturization and multi-functionalization of electronic devices, a large number of electronic components with various requirements on the interconnections and packaging need to be ...

Scientists have used ultrafast high-intensity lasers to superheat gold to 14 times its melting point without turning the solid metal into a liquid. The record-breaking experiment, which was described ...

The melting point of ice is the temperature at which solid water transitions into a liquid. Under standard atmospheric conditions, this occurs at 32°F (0°C). However, adding substances like salt ...

Ionic liquids can be manipulated to have lower than expected melting points by harnessing the same approach that nature uses to keep cell membranes fluid at low temperatures, according to a study.

For years, ionic liquids have been the darlings of academia, where researchers have explored the chemistry and properties of this class of low-melting-point salts. The range of properties of ionic ...

Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid's vapour pressure equals the external pressure, causing it to change into a gas. Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid.

In 1896, German chemist Emil Fischer noted something very strange about a molecule named acetaldehyde phenylhydrazone. Identical batches of the crystalline compound appeared to have wildly different ...

Abstract: In the field of microelectronics, particularly at high temperatures, thermal stress presents a challenge to chip integration and packaging reliability. The exploration of low melting point ...
