Molten salt is exactly what it sounds like—simply the melted contents of your saltshaker. The descriptor “molten” may evoke images of volcanic lava, but once the salt is melted, it is typically not hot enough for it to glow.

The biggest challenges in the scientific community may seem daunting to tackle, but as The Beatles famously said, “I get by with a little help from my friends!” When scientists see immense challenges, they do not attempt to solve them alone. Like climbing Mt. Everest, most scientific problems are best addressed with a team of experts who know what they are doing.
