Clickbait title. The discovery is that at high pressures, potassium adopts a complex crystalline structure, of which different parts have different melting temperatures.
- cheesymuffin 8y agoIt baited me into something more interesting. I've been bamboozled!
- dang 8y agoOk, we'll use that. If anyone can suggest a better title (i.e. more accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article itself) we can change it again.
- gus_massa 8y agoThe melting part is important. It's not just a complex crystal structure. If's a crystal structure with slots that are filled with the same material. The interesting part is that the filling and the main crystal structure have a different fusion temperature. "At high pressures, potassium adopts a mix of crystalline and liquid structure"???
- dang 8y agoDone. Thanks!
