By 2023, at the urging of politicians from Vanuatu and other small island states, the ICJ had agreed to give its legal opinion on the matter at the formal request of the United Nations General Assembly.

WorkSuperheated Gold Hits Temperatures Higher Than the Sun's Surface-Without Melting - Scientific American (No paywall) Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvinsa temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. But scientists recently shot a nanometers-thick sample of gold with a laser and heated it to an astonishing 19,000 kelvins (33,740 degrees Fahrenheit)all without melting the material. The feat was completely unexpected and has overturned 40 years of accepted physics about the temperature limits of solid materials, the researchers report in a paper published in the journal Nature.
