The illustration shows the atoms of a gold cone exposed to a strong electric field. We also see the field (around the tip of the cone) that excites the gold atoms. They break almost all their connections to each other and the surface layers begin to melt. (Credit: Alexander Ericson)

In its purest form, gold typically requires temperatures of 1,948 degrees Fahrenheit (1,064 degrees Celsius) to liquefy. Now, a team of researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden may have stumbled upon a way to melt the precious metal at room temperature.

          it's cool to know about this even though it's super complex for most of the "kids" it's super fascinating to know about the microscopic things around us. The universe works in it's ways and I hope that one day will be able to investigate how the sun works! Since we can't travel to it because of it's gravity, etc. It would be very awesome we could understand how "space particles" are alive and keep working!
