Researchers have been able to heat up a sample of solid gold to over 14 times its melting temperature for a fraction of a second, bypassing a theoretical limit known as the entropy catastrophe.

Superheated gold stays solid well past its predicted melting point Heating that lasted only trillionths of a second raised a gold sample’s temperature to 19,000 K without melting it, a study ...

This microbe neutralizes harmful gold ions using enzymes, converting them into stable, solid gold particles.

Giant laser heats solid gold to 14 times its melting point A 50 nm thick sheet of solid gold was heated well beyond a theoretical limit, suggests new study — plus, what researchers think about ...

Wafer-thin sheets of gold shot briefly with lasers can be heated up to 14 times their melting point while remaining solid, far beyond the theoretical limit, raising the possibility that some ...

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

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are turning heads on the streets of New York City, delivering satirical looks as they reprise ...

The term for when a solid stays a solid at or beyond its melting point is superheating. Most materials can be superheated only in a short range after that point, before they promptly melt.

It’s been 25 years since work crews last coated the massive gold pioneer statue atop the Oregon Capitol Building in Salem with 23-karat gold leaf. And it’s been a rough quarter century of ...

Superheated gold withstands 'entropy catastrophe': New method challenges established physics by Erin Woodward, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Andrew Zinin ...
