Scientists Superheat Gold, Defying Conventional Physical Laws
In a pioneering experiment, scientists heated gold to temperatures well beyond the previously assumed thermodynamic limit for solids. They used ultrafast, intense laser pulses to heat a thin gold sheet without melting it. Discovery Challenges Long-Held Theory on Thermal Limits of Solids Published in Nature on July 23, the discovery challenges the “entropy catastrophe” theory, […]
