Perovskites—a class of compounds with a unique ABX3 structure and high temperature stability—are promising materials for ...

Simulations show that subsurface oceans on small moons may hit boiling conditions, potentially creating features like Miranda’s distinctive ridges.

The team used X-rays to study the formation of platinum crystals in liquid metal. They took platinum beads and dissolved them ...

High in Norway’s mountains, a lone hiker recently walked across a patch of retreating ice and stumbled onto a scatter of ...

In this video, we show our longest-running steelmaking furnace project. The home foundry was made from an old gas cylinder.

Jet engines and power turbines run hotter when engineers focus on boosting efficiency. The metals, alloys, and other materials used often give up long before engineers do. A new alloy made from ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This device determined the melting ...

A new era is born.

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 ...

Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. But scientists recently shot a nanometers-thick sample of gold with a laser and heated it to an astonishing ...
