Any student who has taken an introductory chemistry lab course will remember identifying unknown substances by determining the temperature at which they melt. A student loads the mystery material into ...

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 ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The melting point range of a substance is the temperature range from which the first crystal starts to melt, to the temperature at which the last crystal finishes melting. Key fact An impure substance ...

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.

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 ...

Rachel Feltman: Antarctica is the largest, coldest desert on the planet, with snowfall dropping less than six inches of water there each year. But for such a dry place, Antarctica has an outsize ...
