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.

A longstanding problem in physics has finally been cracked by Professor Kostya Trachenko of Queen Mary University of London's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. His research, published in ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet covers 1.7 million square kilometers (660,200 square miles) in the Arctic. If it melts entirely, global sea level would rise about 7 meters (23 feet), but scientists aren't ...

Tungsten (W, atomic number 74) has the highest melting point of all the elements, melting at 3,422°C (6,192°F or 3,695 K), which is a long way above rhenium (3,182°C) or tantalum (3,017°C). This ...

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 ...

A new study using simulations identified two tipping points for the Greenland Ice Sheet: releasing 1000 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere will cause the southern portion of the ice sheet to melt; ...
