- Physicists Blow Up Gold With Giant Lasers, Accidentally Disprove . . .
For the first time, physicists have directly measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray laser—a breakthrough with major implications for engineering spacecraft
- Physicists Blast Gold to Astonishing Temperatures, Overturning 40 Years . . .
Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano But scientists recently shot a nanometers-thick sample of gold with a laser and heated it to an
- The limit does not exist: Superheated gold survives the entropy catastrophe
Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a decades-old theory and upended our understanding of superheating
- Scientists Superheated Gold to 14 Times Its Melting Point and It . . .
It’s not easy to surprise physicists with a phase change Yet when Tom White first reviewed the data from a new experiment that used lasers to heat gold, he had to pause and double-check his
- Superheated gold withstands entropy catastrophe: New method . . .
Superheated gold withstands 'entropy catastrophe': New method challenges established physics by Erin Woodward, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Andrew Zinin
- Superheated Gold Shatters Limits Once Thought Unbreakable
In a dazzling experiment involving ultrafast lasers and X-rays, scientists have measured atomic temperatures in superheated gold for the first time—and in doing so, they overturned a decades-old theory Their findings, published in Nature, show that solid gold can withstand temperatures more than 14 times its melting point without disintegrating, defying what physicists once called the
- Physicists Blow Up Gold With Giant Lasers, Accidentally Disprove . . .
Physicists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory superheated gold to over 33,000F using giant lasers and X-rays -- far exceeding the limits set by long-standing physics models From the report: In an experiment presented today in Nature, researchers, for the first time ever, demonstrated a way to directly measure the temperature
