LIQUID METAL FROM HELL: BEAUTIFUL, DEADLY, AND READY TO EXPLODE
Meet potassium - a shiny, silvery metal that’s so soft you can slice it with a knife. But don’t get too friendly: it’s wildly reactive, especially with water.
Now add sodium, another alkali metal - when they touch things get weird.
They form a liquid alloy that stays fluid at room temperature and balls up into shiny, floating spheres with insane surface tension.
It’s used as a coolant in nuclear reactors and satellites…but expose it to air or water and it goes full Michael Bay in seconds.
