Liquid metal refers to a class of metallic materials that remain in a liquid state at or near room temperature. These materials possess unique properties, such as high electrical and thermal ...

made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball of metal. At least, that is what scientists thought. New research published in the journal Nature Geoscience found that the core's shape has ...

This synergy enables the liquid metal to exhibit diverse and autonomous behaviors similar to those of real leukocytes, such as shape-shifting and navigating complex surfaces. According to the ...

Shape changes in the core could hold clues ... the inner core will continue to cool, sipping drops of liquid metal from the outer core, until Earth’s entire core is a solid metal sphere, he ...
