The Iron Cloud: What Happens When Metal Becomes Gas?

We all know water boils into steam, but what happens when you push the thermostat to the absolute extreme? In this episode, Boni explores the aggressive physics of phase transitions by vaporizing a solid block of iron. We break down the journey from a solid, heavy cube to a blindingly hot puddle, and finally, into a massive, suffocating cloud of instant rust. Join us for a professional look at the thermodynamics of gaseous metal.
