“We will continue our work on designing crystalline surface patterns and structures using liquid metals to enable cutting-edge applications such as plasmonic sensing, high-efficiency electronics ...

That’s because the fluid inside is an alloy of sodium and potassium in about a 1:3 ratio, known as NaK (pronounced like “knack”), which is a liquid at room temperature.

Despite these advances, liquid metal alloys and liquid metal-supported catalysts have typically been limited to systems containing only a few elements. This limitation has prevented them from reaching ...

Wang’s research stars a liquid metal alloy Galinstan—a mixture of the elements gallium, indium, and tin. It boasts a melting point of negative 2 degrees F, so at room temperature, the metal is ...

And this is only the latest in a growing body of experiments and prototyping aimed at exploiting the unique properties of liquid metals. In 2014, Dr Kalantar-Zadeh’s group developed a pump ...

Researchers have grown diamonds under conditions of 1 atmosphere pressure and at 1025 degrees Celsius using a liquid metal alloy composed of gallium, iron, nickel, and silicon, thus breaking the ...

Chemical and structural durability of α-Al2O3 and γ-LiAlO2 layers formed on ODS FeCrAl alloys in liquid lithium lead stirred flow. Corrosion Science, 2024; 240: 112459 DOI: 10.1016/j.corsci.2024 ...

Liquid metals conduct electricity and interact with heat and light in the same ways as their solid forms, but the added fluidity opens up a range of new devices that weren’t previously possible.
