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
XM Liquid Metal since the beginning of XM Satellite Radio's launch, but with the incoming of Major League Baseball and XM's MLB Home Plate talk station, XM Liquid Metal had to be removed from the satellites for extra bandwidth. On February 15, 2005, the switch was made. With the change, XMLM DJ Ward Cleaver moved to XM 48 SquiZZ to do mid-days. Unfortunately, unlike other XM Online channels, XM Liquid Metal was not carried of other services such as DirecTV or AOL Radio. For about a year, there were various complaints on XM online forums, and ones that were sent to XM themselves.
