For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

Scientists have used ultrafast high-intensity lasers to superheat gold to 14 times its melting point without turning the solid metal into a liquid. The record-breaking experiment, which was described ...

MR. MADAN's description of a device for showing that metals and solids expand when exposed to heat is very interesting, especially as such an arrangement, but with important modifications, is capable ...
