Superheating of grain boundaries within bulk colloidal crystals
Understanding the dynamics of grain boundaries and their melting behaviour is important for controlling the mechanical properties of materials. Now, experiments show that grain boundaries can be superheated, and that they melt via a nucleation mechanism.
