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.

Indeed, in the original communication of its discovery to the French Academy, it was described as a new liquid metal, similar to mercury; but on touching with a fragment of solid gallium a portion ...

A major scientific breakthrough is set to change the way we make many everyday products—making the process faster, safer, and ...

A major breakthrough in liquid catalysis is transforming how essential products are made, making the chemical manufacturing ...

The cones are coated in a liquid metal — [Zach] used Galinstan, an alloy of gallium, indium, and tin — and an high voltage is applied between the liquid metal and an extraction electrode.

The cones are coated in a liquid metal — [Zach] used Galinstan, an alloy of gallium, indium, and tin — and an high voltage is applied between the liquid metal and an extraction electrode.

Undeterred, the scientists shifted their approach, experimenting with a liquid metal alloy composed of gallium, iron, nickel, and silicon. After hundreds of parameter adjustments, they struck gold ...

and gallium-indium-tin (Galinstan). Liquid metals can be synthesized and processed using various techniques, depending on the desired application and the specific liquid metal composition: Liquid ...

Freeze-assisted printing stabilizes liquid metal through controlled cooling ... enables pre-patterned conductive wires by solidifying gallium-indium alloys into controlled structures, which ...
