No, but I'm wearing one made from Titanium right now.

Aluminum or aluminium?

I don't know, would wear a ring made out of platinium?

Amazing Gallium!

newtboy says...

Let's hope 'terrorists' don't watch the sift or youtube, or can't find any gallium or mercury. I don't think the TSA is looking for mercury or gallium, and it seems it could be disastrous if 'combined' with a plane's aluminum skin. Scary stuff....and neat!

Robbersdog49 already pointed out the 58°F temperature difference between the melting point of ice (32°F) and the temperature of your hand (90°F).
To put it another way, when the temperature outside is just a few degrees above 32°F and there is ice or snow out, have you noticed how very long it takes to melt?

Milk chocolate has a melting point about the same as gallium (around 85°F). Because of the close melting point to my skin I shouldn't get chocolate on my fingers when I eat a candy bar, but I do.


Gallium also conducts heat more effectively than milk chocolate so the heat from your hand isn't concentrated in the surface of the metal.

That would be milk chocolate which has been at room temperature, and thus was close to melting point to begin with?
OK then, have you stored milk chocolate in the freezer and then taken it out and held it? It doesn't melt very quickly and doesn't leave residue on your hand from brief contact, does it? But eventually, yes, it will melt in your hot hand. The same as the gallium spoon would if he'd had it in his hand long enough.
