Conventional materials such as metals, polymers, composites, ceramics and naturally derived matters, may not perform well when facing certain technological challenges. At around room temperature, most of such materials mainly stay at solid state and are often difficult to shape due to their high melting point. Meanwhile, although classical soft matters own good flexibility, their electrical conductivities including more behaviours appear not good enough which generally limited their utilizations. As a game-changing alternative, the room temperature liquid metal materials are quickly emerging as a new generation functional material which displayed many unconventional properties superior to traditional materials. Their outstanding versatile feature as ?One material, diverse capabilities? is rather unique among existing materials and thus opens many exciting opportunities for scientific, technological and industrial developments. This handbook presents comprehensive reference information on liquid metal science and technology that are currently available. The major advancements as made before are collected and summarized. Representative liquid metal applications are illustrated. It helps readers obtain a comprehensive understanding of the technical progresses and fundamental discoveries in the frontier, and thus better explore and utilize liquid metal materials to address various challenging needs. 606 $aMetals 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat$xTransmission 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aEnergy harvesting 606 $aMetals and Alloys 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aEnergy Harvesting 615 0$aMetals. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat$xTransmission. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 0$aEnergy harvesting. 615 14$aMetals and Alloys. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aEnergy Harvesting. 676 $a530.41 702 $aLiu$b Jing 702 $aRao$b Wei 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910900179503321 996 $aHandbook of Liquid Metals$93657929 997 $aUNINA
