Cooling liquid metal just got easier to watch. We tracked Galinstan droplet freezing in real time - supercooling, dendrites, wetting shifts - using just thermography + optics; no vacuum chamber needed. Simple, open-air.

Thermographic Analysis
of the Cooling Dynamics of
Liquid Metal Droplets
Abstract. This work presents an experimental study of the thermal
dynamics
of cooling galinstan liquid metal droplets using thermographic and
optical imagi
