In most substances, the higher the pressure, the higher the melting point, which needs the higher the temperature to melt. Sodium maintains this trend, but only partially, since, according to a study, from the 300,000 atmospheres of pressure, the opposite phenomenon occurs: the melting temperature decreases and melts at room temperature when they reach the atmosphere 1,2 million. Researchers believe that, in addition to sodium, other elements can behave in the same way.
