Tungsten, a metal known for its incredible strength and high melting point, is one of the most useful materials in engineering. With the symbol "W" and atomic number 74, tungsten has applications ...

For tin, the melting point leaped as high as 265C above the bulk metal’s melting threshold. Likewise, lead clusters melted only at temperatures more than 140C above the melting point of bulk lead.

Alkali metals represented the lowest pressure level for changed melting behavior at 30 gigapascals, on a scale where Earth’s surface pressure is about 0.0001 gigapascals.
