Why Gallium Melts In Your Hand
📝 Script
A metal in your hand should be solid, yet something stranger occurs. Before temperature rises further, a subtle shift starts inside the silvery mass. α-Gallium (orthorhombic phase) shivers as warmth climbs; facets blur, a silvery skin breaks, and thin rivulets pool into glossy liquid across the surface. Eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn) gleams and flows at room conditions, its beads coalescing into reflective pools that merge with a touch. When the limit is exceeded, solid forms collapse and a metallic mirror surges outward, altering the surface entirely. This lets the metal flow and reform endlessly, while silently stressing electronics and containers. Follow for one real science fact every day.
