👉 A fundamental fluid, often referred to as a liquid metal or metallic fluid, is a state of matter where the atoms are not confined to fixed positions but rather move freely within a container, behaving like a liquid. These fluids have unique properties that distinguish them from traditional liquids and solids, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent lubrication capabilities, and the ability to form stable liquid layers. Metallic fluids are typically alloys of metals like gallium, indium, and tin, which exhibit low melting points and high fluidity. They are used in various applications such as cooling systems for electronic devices, where their ability to efficiently dissipate heat and maintain stable temperatures is crucial. The fluid's behavior is governed by the interplay between atomic interactions and external conditions like temperature and pressure.
