Description: Carbon has the highest melting point of all the elements. Previous studies had predicted that graphene – the most thermally stable form of carbon – could melt at 4510K, but new work from Eric Ganz at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute at the University of Minnesota, US, predicts that the initial stages of melting aren’t seen until at least 5000K (4726.85°C). nnDiffusion events and ‘5775 defects’ – when four six membered rings distort to create a combination of five and seven m
