Scrap melting is a pivotal process in modern steelmaking, where recycled steel serves both as an iron source and as a coolant for exothermic reactions in converters. This process is governed by the ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory of how phase changes could occur in two-dimensional materials.

Snapshots of the skyrmion lattice during the melting: an ordered skyrmion lattice on the left while the lattice structure has vanished on the right. What occurs during the melting process in ...

First patented in 1931 by Siemens und Halske Company, Germany, cold crucible induction melting is predicated on the principles of inductively heating material inside a crucible while cooling the ...

A new study helps to reconcile a Nobel Prize-winning theory with experiments on how solids actually melt. In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory ...
