Quasi-continuous melting of model polymer monolayers prompts reinterpretation of polymer melting

Melting is considered a strictly first-order transition and therefore cannot proceed continuously. Here the authors challenge this concept for long-chain compounds by demonstrating continuous melting of thin layers on graphite where the barrier for such melting, the interface crowding, is removed.
