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.

            This is really good because if robbers put the gold into the sack it would just drip out. LOL XD

              well this is a really good thing because if you turn gold into a liquid before its transferred over to a bank this could make it harder for people trying to find gold in vehicles because it could be anywhere in the car
