1-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene may be an option. The cis (E) isomer boils at 19.5°C, while the trans (Z) isomer boils at 39.6°C. It is a halogenated hydrocarbon, so there is some ozone-depleting risk with this substance, but the Z isomer has a very low risk from that point of view. It is...
Think of it as dissolving a substance (tin) in a solvent (gallium). You don't need to heat the gallium much to make it liquid, and then adding the tin slowly to allow it to dissolve should be fine. An (oversimplified) analogy would be dissolving salt in water - you'd add the solid salt, not...
This is a bit hypothetical obviously as I doubt the conditions for this scenario would ever occur in the real universe.
Imagine a black hole, about 10 solar masses. It is, amazingly, sitting in an area of space that is a perfect vacuum.
Just by chance, a rogue antimatter star of exactly the...

I'll try to give answers on the subjects I'm expert on. :)
