Using powerful computer simulations, researchers have identified a material with a higher melting point than any known substance. The computations show that a material made with hafnium, nitrogen, and carbon would have a melting point of more than 4,400 kelvins (7,460 degrees Fahrenheit). That’s about two-thirds the temperature at the surface of the sun, and 200 kelvins higher than the highest melting point ever recorded experimentally.img src=»http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/2G_n8OvxqE4″ height=»1″ width=»1″ alt=»»/
