Superconductors—materials that can conduct electricity without energy loss—are crucial for next-generation high-efficiency, ...

While M&Ms melt in your mouth but not in your hands, the mysterious element, gallium, does both. It has some rather unique and interesting properties. If you find you're playing Final Jeopardy, and ...

Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is a highly attractive form of RAM, as it promises low-power usage with stable long-term storage, even in the absence of external power. Finding the right ...

The chemical element gallium could be used as a new reversible adhesive that allows its adhesive effect to be switched on and off with ease, report scientists. Some adhesives may soon have a metallic ...

Some adhesives may soon have a metallic sheen and be particularly easy to unstick. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart are suggesting gallium as just such a ...
