A common technique in organic chemistry is to determine the melting point of a specimen. While commercial options exist, [kymyst] decided to build one with similar (or better) functionality, and ...

Scientists have long known that impurities and flaws in a metal’s crystal structure can lower the material’s melting point. In an unexpected twist, an international research team has dramatically ...

Using powerful computer simulations, researchers have identified a material with a higher melting point than any known substance. The computations show that a material made with hafnium, nitrogen, and ...
