Liquid metal Liquid metal Liquid metal consists of alloys with very low melting points which form a eutectic that is liquid at room temperature. The standard metal used to be mercury, but gallium-based alloys, which are lower both in their vapor pressure at room temperature and toxicity, are being used as a replacement in various applications. A few elemental metals are liquid at or near room temperature. The most well known is mercury(Hg), which is molten above −38.8 °C (234.3 K, −37.9 °F). Others include caesium(Cs), which has a melting point of 28.5 °C (83.3 °F), rubidium (Rb)(39 °C [102 °F]), francium
Liquid metal printing process, the dielectric substrate encapsulating the liquid metal; 3. the electro-textile copper (35%copper, 65%polyester, thickness 0.08 mm, resistivity 0.05 Ω/sq) constituting the antenna ground plane. In 2015, Jie Zhang's team found that the liquid metal (i.e. EGaIn, Galinstan) placed in the electrolyte (NaOH, NaCl or NaCO solutions) can provide energy by “ingesting” aluminum as a food or fuel, enabling high-speed, high-efficiency long-term operation. A small piece of aluminum can drive liquid metal balls with a diameter of about 5 mm to achieve long-term operation. More than 1 hour of continuous exercise, speed up to 5cm/s . This flexible machine
