Density and surface tension of heavy liquid-metal coolants: Gallium and indium
TLDR
In this article, the density and surface tension of liquid high-purity gallium and indium as a function of temperature were studied, and the sessile drop method was used to obtain these parameters.Abstract:
The density and surface tension of liquid high-purity gallium and indium as a function of temperature were studied. The sessile drop method was used to obtain these parameters. Experiments were carried out from the melting points to ∼1300 K in a high vacuum. The confidence error of the experiments was 0.5 and 1% for density and surface tension, respectively. The results of this research are compared with recommended reference data in the literature.read more

Liquid Metal-Based Wearable Tactile Sensor for Both Temperature and Contact Force Sensing
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the design and fabrication of a wearable tactile sensor based on galinstan liquid metal for the simultaneous sensing of temperature and contact force independently, which is achieved by a designed Wheatstone bridge circuit and by the structural design of the fingerprint-patterned microfluidic channels.

Review of data for the surface tension of pure metals
TL;DR: A survey of the experimentally determined values for the surface tension γ of molten pure metals has been carried out in this article, which is intended to provide an assessed data base for use with a mathematical model currently being developed at the National Physical Laboratory, UK, to predict surface tension of molten metal alloys.

Surface tension and density measurements for indium and uranium using a sessile-drop apparatus with glow discharge cleaning
TL;DR: In this paper, the sessile-drop method was used to measure the surface tension and density of liquid indium and uranium under high vacuum, and measurements were made over the temperature range 156-500°C for In and at the melting point for U.
