http://physicsweb.org/article/news/9/6/20> Physicists in the US have gained new insights into one most of the basic
> phenomena in physics -- the melting of a solid. Arjun Yodh and
> colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore College have
> shown that melting begins at defects before spreading to the entire
> crystal (Sciencexpress 11123991). The work will help fill in the gaps in
> our knowledge of the melting process.
