Molecules forming extremely thin films can remain frozen at a temperature where the bulk material is already molten. Science Centric tells the story of this discovery with applications extending from organic solar cells to biosensors.
The results were published in the 1 April 2011 edition of Physical Review Letters, by a group from Bar-Ilan University in Ramat-Gan (Israel), Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source (U.S.) and the ESRF.
The press release by BNL led to this story in a widely-read science website:
