An curved arrow pointing right. Gallium, a lesser common element, has some neat tricks up its quickly melting sleeve. It melts in your hand, can be used to make a gag spoon, and can turn a typical ...

A most remarkable property of gallium is its low melting point. It liquefies completely at 86° Fah. , or below the heat of the hand; and, still more curiously, when once melted at this ...

An curved arrow pointing right. You definitely shouldn't mess around with mercury, but if you want a safe, similar, tactile experience, a metal called Gallium is widely available online.

The journey to this breakthrough began with a 2017 study that showed liquid gallium could catalyze the production of graphene from methane at low temperatures inside a custom-built vacuum system.

This YouTube video by TechRax demonstrates what happens if you pour melted gallium onto the scratched aluminum backing of an iPhone: This new manmade fiber composed of carbon atoms arranged into a ...

The most commonly studied liquid metals include gallium, indium, tin, and their alloys, such as eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) and gallium-indium-tin (Galinstan). Liquid metals can be synthesized and ...
