Nearly 150 years after gallium was discovered and added to the periodic table, University of Auckland scientists have uncovered previously unknown aspects of the metal’s structure and behaviour. First ...

Liquid metals and alloys have exceptional properties that make them suitable for electrical energy storage and generation applications. Low-melting point gallium-based liquid metals are used as heat ...

AN earlier communication 1 directed attention to the ease with which single crystals of gallium could be produced and to the highly anisotropic properties of the specimens so obtained. The room ...

Researchers have created a form of platinum that can remain liquid at room temperature, by mixing tiny amounts of the precious metal with gallium. This new liquid platinum performs catalytic reactions ...

The synthesis of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) — small particles each containing multiple principal metal elements — typically requires extreme conditions to ensure adequate mixing of ...

Every time you sit down with your phone in your back pocket, you’re reminded of a fundamental truth: Human bodies are soft and flexible. Electronics aren’t. But soon, there may be devices that can ...

A novel fabrication method and liquid metal gallium could help form new 2D superconductor technology and boost transistors. The number of transistors in integrated circuits (IC) — a set of electronic ...

Researchers created a novel functional composite of gallium with putty or paste-like physical properties. The composite possesses excellent electromagnetic shielding properties as well as thermal ...

When not confined to a container, liquids will splatter, dribble, and ooze. They shape-shift into their surroundings as puddles and streams, largely beyond human control. Lauren Zarzar is trying to ...

In the movie Terminator 2, the T-1000 robot was made of some kind of liquid metal that could change shape among other interesting things. According to a chemical engineer at North Carolina State ...

Liquid metals and alloys have exceptional properties that make them suitable for electrical energy storage and generation applications. Liquid metals and alloys have exceptional properties that make ...

(Nanowerk News) Gallium is a highly useful element that has accompanied the advancement of human civilization throughout the 20th century. Gallium is designated as a technologically critical element, ...
