The WEF meeting took place just a fortnight after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. The spectacle of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it transitions from a solid phase to a liquid phase under standard atmospheric pressure. Changes in pressure alter the stability of the solid and liquid phases, affecting the melting point. Professor Kostya Trachenko of Queen Mary University of London has solved the big mystery. The pioneering research introduces a universal theory for predicting the melting points of various substances.
