Photo: There is a metal called gallium that can melt in your hand

Gallium melts at 85 degrees Fahrenheit and does not occur in nature. At low temperatures, gallium is a brittle solid. It was discovered in 1875 and since its discovery has primarily been used in high temperature thermometers and in preparing of metal alloys. It is used in microwave circuitry and infrared applicationsThere is a metal called gallium that can melt in your hand
