For the first time, a team of researchers report in the journal Nature that they have directly measured the temperature of atoms in warm dense matter. Already, their innovative method is changing our understanding of the world: In an experimental debut, the team superheated solid gold far beyond the theoretical limit, unexpectedly overturning four decades of established theory.The Limit Does Not Exist: Superheated Gold Survives the Entropy Catastrophe
