Galinstan



Galinstan is an eutectic alloy of gallium, indium, and tin which is liquid at room temperature, typically freezing at -20 °C (-4 °F). Due to the low toxicity of its component metals, it finds use as a non-toxic replacement for many applications which currently employ liquid mercury or sodium-potassium alloy (NaK).
