Lead-free solder alloys have been around for as long as people have done soldering, with sources dating back about 5,000 years. Most of these alloys were combinations like copper-silver or silver-g… ...

Tungsten, a metal known for its incredible strength and high melting point, is one of the most useful materials in engineering. With the symbol "W" and atomic number 74, tungsten has applications ...

At melting point, the researchers expected the normally cigar-shaped clusters to become spherical--but they never got there. Jarrold and Shvartsburg raised the temperature to their heater's ...

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 ...

Hitachi today announced the successful development of a 220-300C low-melting temperature glass ("low-melting glass"). This glass was developed as a low temperature sealant which does not contain ...

This is not true. The melting point of aluminium is around 660°C, while wildfires burn at an average intensity of around 800°C. A video on Facebook claims that there is “no fire” that could have ...

It has a very low thermal conductivity — lower than any other metal except mercury, according to Chemicool. It also has a relatively low melting point, especially when alloyed with tin and lead.

Melting solid below the freezing point Date: January 23, 2017 Source: Carnegie Institution for Science Summary: Researchers have discovered a new phenomenon of so-called metastability in a liquid ...

On Monday, the London market melted down, then up, then down again. At 2.30 the FTSE 100 was showing a loss of 211 points, or 3.7 per cent.
