Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed the first known metallic gel, a material made entirely of metals that can withstand extreme heat.
This new material is created by mixing two metal powders, where one metal melts into a liquid and the other stays solid, forming a microscopic scaffold that traps the liquid metal inside.
The discovery could be a game changer for energy storage, making liquid metal batteries safe for use in electric vehicles and other mobile applications.
