Physicists superheat gold to over 33,740°F without melting it

An international team kept solid gold intact while superheating it to 19,000 Kelvin, about 33,740 °F (18,726 °C). They measured the temperature directly, in real time, and documented the feat in a new study. The result outstrips a long assumed ceiling on how hot a solid can get before it gives way. The team reached this state with ultra fast …
