Using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, the team blasted the ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a "time crystal" in the laboratory that maintains autonomous rhythms at room temperature.

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 ...

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 ...

Nuclear reactors and spacecraft are exposed to high levels of radiation and high temperatures, so it's critical the metals ...

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), ...

It’s notoriously difficult to take the temperature of really hot things. Whether it’s the roiling plasma in our Sun, the ...
