Furthermore, she explained, because gallium is a liquid at about room temperature, the nanostructure design process will be quite low energy — and produce zero waste.

Dissolving nickel in liquid gallium let them get access to liquid nickel at very low temperatures. This acts as a ‘super’ catalyst. In comparison solid nickel’s melting point is 1455 degrees ...

So if a drop of liquid gallium is introduced between two objects and then cooled to less than 30 degrees, the gallium layer solidifies and sticks the two objects together. When it is time to separate ...

By dissolving palladium in liquid gallium the team, led by Associate Professor Md. Arifur Rahim from Monash University's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, created a self ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to ...

Liquid gallium in a petri dish. Credit: University of Sydney/Philip Ritchie Liquid metals could be the long-awaited solution to "greening" the chemical industry, according to researchers who ...

The periodic table hosts five metals that are liquid near room temperature. Although all are good conductors, working with them can be problematic. Francium is radioactive and has a half-life of just ...

Liquid gallium alloy micro-fluidic mm-Wave phase shifter. The proposed shifter uses a half-mode substrate-integrated waveguide, with phase shifted in a via-pad-slot structure where a through via is ...
