The new material is heat resistant in the heart of the Earth

Scientists are working on a new project that promises to create a record melting material. It can survive even being thrown into the heart of the Earth, where temperatures reach nearly 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Heat at the center of the Earth can not destroy the new material

Scientists at Brown University are currently working on a computer model that tests the exact combination of hafnium, nitrogen, and carbon elements that can produce a new material with a hot temperature. Flowing 4,400 degrees Kelvin (over 4,000 degrees Celsius).

That also means that it can remain intact at the layer near the center of the Earth, as well as not melting even on the lower solar heat .

Earlier, scientists discovered a new metamaterial, a combination of hafnium, tantalum and carbon (Hf-Ta-C), which was also capable of withstanding high heat but not equal. with the kind of material that scientists are studying.

Nitrogen and carbon are familiar and easy to find, but hafnium is a rather strange element. Hafnium is a material commonly used to make equipment in nuclear reactors , in vacuum tubes and in the manufacture of iron and titanium alloys.

The material itself is extremely heat resistant, but scientists want to create a metamaterial that can withstand higher temperatures many times over. It can be used for exploring the universe , going to very high surface temperatures and even the Sun.

It can also be used in a wide variety of applications around us, such as for the manufacture of gas turbines or heat shields in supersonic fighters.
