Science Alert  October 20, 2022 By bringing pure water into contact with an alloy of sodium and potassium researchers in Czech Republic converted pure water metallic. They extruded a small blob of sodium-potassium alloy, which is liquid at room temperature, from a nozzle and added a thin film of pure water using vapor deposition. Upon contact, the electrons and metal cations flowed into the water from the alloy. Not only did this give the water a golden shine, but it also turned the water conductive. They confirmed this using optical reflection spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Their study not […]
