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 remains perfectly solid when briefly heated beyond previously hypothesized limits, a new study reports, which may mean a complete reevaluation of how matter behaves under extreme conditions. The ...

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 ...

Researchers used a laser to superheat a sample of gold past its theoretical limit and directly measured its temperature. Greg Stewart / SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Researchers recently heated ...
