    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Refractory metals have high melting points, with tungsten and rhenium the highest of all elements, and the other's melting points only exceeded by osmium and iridium, and the sublimation of carbon. These high melting points define most of their applications. All the metals are body-centered cubic except rhenium which is hexagonal close-packed.

    A more stable polymorph of water than common ice (Ice I h), which instead of melting when above 0°C (32°F), only melts at 45.8°C (114.4°F). When ice-nine comes in contact with liquid water below 45.8°C, it acts as a seed crystal , and causes the solidification of the entire body of water, which quickly crystallizes as more ice-nine.

    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.

    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.
