CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - We don't have to tell anyone that it's hot outside. But, we wanted to do a little experiment to demonstrate what the heat is capable of doing. So, we glued 48 Crayola ...

What occurs when you subject a metal renowned for its stability, blast it with a laser pulse only 45 femtoseconds in duration, and heat it to 19,000 kelvins but it won’t melt? Physicists had long ...

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 ...

Researchers have conducted a basic chemistry experiment in what is perhaps the world's smallest test tube, measuring a thousandth the diameter of a human hair. Researchers at The University of Texas ...

Heat and color are related—the darker the color, the more heat that is absorbed. On a mostly sunny, 100 degree day, it doesn't take long to melt wax crayons. The video above demonstrates the order of ...

IN reply to C. A. M.'s letter of last week I would make the following remarks:—Ice is not an exceptional substance, for mercuric chloride has also given experimentally the same results, and though I ...
