Just a little fun fact, gallium metal is a liquid metal with a melting point around body temperature.
One of its main properties is that it can amalgamate/seep into other metals, especially Aluminium, and severely weaken its structure inside out after 4 hours (but only if you sand off the oxide layer of the aluminium first).
Which is why it's important to never have even tiny amounts of it in contact with any aluminium alloys used by idk...
Expensive sports cars, private jets and certain padlocks. Oh geez I hope no one uses this info to perform a silent sabotage!

Also oh dear please keep gallium away from police vehicles and ICE patrol cars! Imagine the horror!
