The Limit Does Not Exist: Superheated Gold Survives the Entropy Catastrophe

It’s notoriously difficult to take the temperature of really hot things. Whether it’s the roiling plasma in our Sun, the extreme conditions at the core of planets or the crushing forces at play inside a fusion reactor, what scientists call “warm dense matter” can reach hundreds of thousands of degrees kelvin.
