Unlike iron, which requires a high temperature to melt, aluminum and tin have low melting temperatures, and they can behave as a liquid like water at the low temperatures. These mysterious and amazing liquid metals are providing a range of new possibilities, from the development of future cities to exploration of the universe beyond our planet. Here we introduce how these materials are bringing together expertise from various fields to cooperate on new innovations.
