Gallium is a rare metal with a melting point so low (about 29.8°C / 85.6°F) that it can liquefy from body heat alone meaning it can literally melt in your hand.

Scientists are now uncovering unusual new behaviors in liquid gallium that could influence future electronics, soft robotics, and advanced materials research.
