Physicists may finally have an answer for a seemingly simple question that has remained unanswered for about a century: when does a substance melt?<\/p>\n

Kostya Trachenko<\/a> at Queen Mary University of London found it mysterious that \u201cin this age of scientific and technological development\u201d, physicists do not always know how to predict at what temperature and pressure a material will melt<\/a>. He has now derived an equation that can be used to make such predictions for a vast\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
