Transient pump-probe optical reflectivity measurements of the nano- to microsecond dynamics of a fully reversible, light-induced, surface-assisted metallization of gallium interfaced with silica ...

Simple knife-edge and Ronchi optical tests indicate that gallium mirrors have optical qualities similar to those of mercury mirrors. We have observed stars with a 1-m diameter liquid-mirror telescope that …

Mar 20, 2013 · Did you happen to check on the price of Gallium? Gallium Source $638/Kg. An 8 inch diameter, one inch thick mirror would cost about... $3100 According to the Wikipedia page, the …

In this video, the Slow Mo Guys play with liquid gallium, giving us a chance to see how molten metals behave (outside of, say, the Terminator movies).

Nov 25, 2023 · The International Liquid Mirror Telescope is no ordinary spinning puddle of mercury, it's got 21st century improvements! The introduction begins: The ILMT is a 4-m diameter zenith-pointing …

In this paper we explore the use of liquid gallium and its low-melting temperature eutectic alloys, and report the re- sults of simple optical-shop tests of a 1-m diameter gallium- indium mirror as well as …
