Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have emerged as a powerful tool to investigate the microscopic mechanisms underpinning melting and solid–liquid phase transitions in a wide range of materials. By ...

A longstanding problem in physics has finally been cracked by Professor Kostya Trachenko of Queen Mary University of London's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. His research, published in ...

Experimental challenges in determining the phase diagram of carbon at temperatures and pressures near the graphite-diamond-liquid triple point are often related to the persistence of metastable ...

This discovery holds significant implications beyond theoretical physics. Accurate prediction of melting points is crucial in materials science, with applications ranging from drug development to ...
