Temperature-dependent properties of molten materials, such as viscosity, surface tension, specific heat, thermal expansion and electrical conductivity, are determined using an electromagnetic levitator (EML). This was developed on behalf of the DLR Space Administration and the ESA. This facility was installed and put into operation on the Columbus Module in 2014 by Alexander Gerst.
