Physicist Develops Equation to Predict Melting Points of Substances

Physicists have long been intrigued by the question of when a substance will melt, and now, a breakthrough may have provided the answer. Kostya Trachenko at Queen Mary University of London has developed a new equation that can predict the temperature and pressure needed to melt any solid substance into a liquid. This development could have far-reaching implications for various fields, including manufacturing, materials science, and engineering.
