Metal aesthetics of metallic jewelry. Some metals have specialized uses; mercury is a liquid at room temperature and is used in switches to complete a circuit when it flows over the switch contacts. Radioactive metals such as uranium and plutonium are used in nuclear power plants to produce energy via nuclear fission. Shape memory alloys are used for applications such as pipes, fasteners and vascular stents. Metals can be doped with foreign molecules—organic, inorganic, biological and polymers. This doping entails the metal with new properties that are induced by the guest molecules. Applications in catalysis, medicine, electrochemical cells, corrosion and more
Liquid metal devices, medical devices, interconnected devices and so on. Typical uses of liquid metals include thermostats, switches, barometers, heat transfer systems, and thermal cooling and heating designs. Uniquely, they can be used to conduct heat and/or electricity between non-metallic and metallic surfaces. Liquid metal is used extensively by overclockers and computer enthusiasts to replace the original thermal interface on CPU and/or GPU dies to improve cooling efficiency and performance. Also, liquid metal can be used for wearable devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) can improve our lives. Emerging IoT applications require reliable and effective wireless connectivity. Therefore, it is necessary to
