Gallium is an interesting element. When you look at it, it is a silvery metal that doesn’t seem to be anything special. When ...

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.

Environmental systems scientist at the University of Delaware. Gallium metal has the unusual property of melting at room temperature and is often used as a curiosity prop in chemistry exhibitions.

Gallium even in its unalloyed form has a very low melting point, which allows the pure metal to melt in your hand. Gallium can be alloyed to reduce its melting point. Gallinstan® is a patented an ...

We're about 12 months on from China's decision to turn off the taps for gallium – one of the most vital and irreplaceable ...

In the scramble to locate new sources of gallium since China cut exports of the critical mineral, Terrain Minerals may have ...

China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has publicized a case involving a failed attempt by Chinese and foreign parties to smuggle gallium out of the country, as gallium is a critical mineral for ...

They mixed it with copper in order to create a binary alloy, where speckles of solid copper (with a much higher melting point) are distributed evenly throughout the liquefied gallium. What results ...

Gallium melts near room temperature and has one of the largest liquid ranges of any metal, so it has found use in high-temperature thermometers amongst other things. It easily forms alloys with most ...

Scientists in Australia are exploring the possibility of extracting gallium and germanium as byproducts of mining operations. Both materials are used in semiconductor manufacturing but have been ...
