    It eventually capsized after melting much faster than anticipated in the warmer-than-expected September waters. 2013 German TV station WDR's programme Kopfball experimented with pykrete but replaced the woodpulp by hemp-fibres. A 5 cm (2.1 inch)-thick plate withstood even more than 80 kg without breaking, it only started to bend.

    Climate change is accelerating the melting of the world's mountain glaciers, according to a massive new study that found them shrinking more than twice as fast as in the early 2000s. The world's ...

  6. Thermite - Wikipedia

    Its relatively low melting point (660 °C) means that it is easy to melt the metal, so that the reaction can occur mainly in the liquid phase, thus it proceeds fairly quickly. Its high boiling point (2519 °C) enables the reaction to reach very high temperatures, since several processes tend to limit the maximum temperature to just below the ...

  7. Silly Putty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silly_Putty

    If Silly Putty is submerged in warm or hot water, it will become softer and thus "melt" much faster. It also becomes harder to remove small amounts of it from surfaces. After a long period of time, it will return to its original viscosity. [6] Silly Putty is sold as a 13 g (0.46 oz) piece of clay inside an egg-shaped plastic container.

  8. Melting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting

    Melting ice cubes illustrate the process of fusion. Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point.
