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 solids ...

Lasers have been used to heat solid gold well beyond its melting temperature without losing the metal’s crystalline structure — exceeding a theoretical superheating limit. Read the paper: Superheating ...

In 1842, the famous British researcher Michael Faraday made an amazing observation by chance: A thin layer of water forms on the surface of ice, even though it is well below zero degrees. So the ...
