In physics, melting is the process of heating a solid substance to a point (called melting point) where it turns liquid. An object, which has melted, is molten. Freezing is the opposite of melting. It is the process of turning a liquid to a solid. Consequently the freezing point is the same temperature as the melting point. See the phase article for more detail.
Not only the heating to the melting point, but also the melting itself requires heat, see latent heat.
Genetics
In genetics, meltingDNA means to separate the double-stranded DNA into two single strands by heating or the use of chemicals.

The Melting Point is an intimate concert venue located in the beautiful Foundry Park Inn and Spa in Athens, Ga - widely known as the live music capital of the Southeast.
With impeccable sound and an aggressive booking strategy, The Melting Point will play host to the very best musicians in the nation and offer patrons a unique, front row listening experience.
Substances melt throughout a temperature range in which both the solid and liquidphases of the substance coexist in a state of equilibrium.
The melting point of the mixture will be identical to that of the known compound in the first instance or lowered and much broadened in the latter.
Melting point capillary tubes are placed (closed end down) in the slots directly in front of the thermometer and are viewed through the magnifying lens.
