		Galinstan tends to wet and adhere to many materials, including glass, which limits its use compared to mercury.
		Galinstan is commercially used as a mercury replacement in thermometers due to its nontoxic properties, but the inner tube must be coated with gallium oxide to prevent the alloy from wetting the glass surface.
		Galinstan is difficult to use for cooling nuclear reactors, because indium has high cross section for thermal neutrons, efficiently absorbing them and inhibiting the fission reaction.

	Gallium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gallium is used in some high temperature thermometers, and a eutectic alloy of gallium, indium, and tin is widely available in fever thermometers, replacing mercury.
		This alloy, with the trade name Galinstan, has a freezing point of −20 °C. Magnesium gallate containing impurities (such as Mn), is beginning to be used in ultraviolet-activated phosphor powder.
		It has been suggested that a liquid Gallium-Tin alloy could be use to cool computer chips in place of water.

	MERC Vermont \| Mercury-Containing Thermometer Disposal
		There are a number of alternatives to mercury thermometers depending on the specific application including digital (note: digital thermometers contain a button cell battery which contains a small amount of mercury and should be disposed of properly), alcohol and mineral spirits (e.g.
		those containing red or blue liquid), and galinstan, a mixture of gallium, indium and tin that is similar to mercury in appearance (these are not yet widely available).
		Households should dispose of mercury containing thermometers and any waste created from the cleanup of broken thermometers at local household hazardous waste collection events sponsored by their local municipality or solid waste district.

		– Oral readings were simultaneous (Galinstan on one side; mercury on the other) bilateral measures at the location of the sublingual artery (pocket of tissue at the base of the tongue, just above the sublingual artery) [21,52].
		The technique for groin/femoral/inguinal temperature readings involved gentle slight abduction of the patient's leg, location of the femoral pulse, placement of the sheathed thermometer on and lateral to the pulse site, and slight adducting of the leg to create a seal [23,34].
		For both mercury and Galinstan glass thermometers, rectal readings were higher than oral and oral readings were higher than skin site temperature assessments.

	Molecule of the Day : Galinstan (More alloys)
		Galinstan is an alloy of gallium, indium, and tin (the Latin is stannum).
		For this reason, it's used as a mercury replacement in some applications (you can find galinstan thermometers, for example).
		Unfortunately, galinstan isn't quite as cool as mercury - mercury tends to bead, while galinstan "wets" things (coats them).

		Galinstan (uses a gallium-indium-tin alloy, otherwise similar in appearance and operation to the mercury version).
		Apparently Galinstan, unlike mercury, wets glass, and would therefore tend to creep up a glass capillary tube through the action of surface tension.
		This may explain why Galinstan thermometers haven't been available until recently, and what enabling technology was required to develop the alloy as a mercury replacement in glass thermometers: for a thermometer, you need to have the length of the liquid column be determined solely by thermal expansion.
