Any student who has taken an introductory chemistry lab course will remember identifying unknown substances by determining the temperature at which they melt. A student loads the mystery material into ...

Hold on, hold on! We may have a new world record here. Researchers from Brown University may have found a substance with a melting point that beats out the previous record by a few hundred degrees.

Cole-Parmer Ltd, a leading UK manufacturer of analytical laboratory instruments, announced today that Electrothermal’s IA9300 Digital Melting Point is now available with Installation Qualification and ...

The aim of our recent work on the homopolar intermolecular C-H···H-C interactions 2,3 was to use gas-phase computations to find out if, and why, those non-covalent interactions are stronger for ...

As compared to organic chemistry, which is a study dedicated to carbon-containing compounds, the area of inorganic chemistry examines the properties and behaviors of all other compounds including ...

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 ...

SLAC's 'electron camera' films rapidly melting tungsten and reveals atomic-level material behavior that could impact the design of future reactors. DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Radiation ...
