New research started with a special material that behaves unusually when it’s extremely cold — 135 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, close to the most frigid temperature ever recorded in Antarctica — and showed that the unusual behavior could be extended to well above room temperature — up to about 135 F, close to the highest heat ever measured in Death Valley, California.
