Галлий - металл, который плавится в руках. Температура плавления - 29.76 °C. На видео галлий взаимодействует с алюминиевым замком, через некоторое время получается крайне хрупкий сплав, который легко разрушить.

Gallium is a metal that melts in your hands. Its melting point is 29.76°C. In the video, gallium reacts with an aluminum lock, resulting in an extremely brittle alloy that can be easily destroyed.
