Title: LCLS lets researchers explore superheating and limits of solid-state matter.
Source: Laser Focus World. Oct2025, Vol. 61 Issue 8, p25-28. 4p.
Subjects: Solid state physics, X-ray lasers, Melting points, Particle physics, Temperature measurements, Gold, Heat engineering
Abstract: The article presents an interview with Bob Nagler and Thomas White details how scientists used the world's most powerful x-ray laser to superheat gold, discovering it can remain solid far beyond its expected melting point. Topics include a new temperature measurement method, the limits of superheated solids; and implications for high-energy-density physics.
