Researchers Develop Metallic Gel That Could Transform Batteries

Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed the first known metallic gel, made entirely of metals, which can withstand extreme heat.

This new material is created by mixing two metal powders, where one metal melts into a liquid and the other stays solid, forming a microscopic scaffold that traps the liquid metal.

The discovery could be a game changer for energy storage, making liquid metal batteries safe for use in electric vehicles and other mobile applications.
