When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from ...

Scientists propose a groundbreaking theory for predicting melting points. The theory offers a universal description of melting lines across various material types. This discovery has significant ...

Scientists are worried about the melting of Antarctica's ice sheets and what it could mean for sea levels. There's a ...

The melting of Southeast Alaska’s Juneau Icefield, source of more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating, shrinking 4.6 times faster than it was in the 1980s, according to a new study. Researchers ...

Before we can answer that question, we need to know first: What is a solid? What’s a liquid? What’s a gas? These three materials behave in terms of the tiny particles of which they’re made. 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 ...
