Gallium

The above picture is not an illusion, not a trick - it is Gallium. With a melting point of only slightly above room temperature (about 29 °C), it will easily melt in one’s hand. It could also be used for a great tea-time prank.

Gallium has atomic number 31, and although elemental gallium does not naturally occur, it can be found as the gallium(III) salt in certain ores. Elemental gallium is a soft, silvery, brittle metal at room temperature.

The major use compound in microwave circuitry and infrared tools is gallium arsenide. The element is almost exclusively used for semiconductors, but in more recent times it is being utilizes for alloys and fuel cells.
