Upon checking I see that I was wrong. The boiling point of Gallium is not much higher, however the melting point is much lower, which extends the temperature range between melting and boiling. >In reply to Jones Beene's message of Sat, 19 Dec 2020 15:37:29 +0000 (UTC): >Hi Jones, >[snip] >>As for the near future, we can ask - is it coincidental that Mills has >>shifted gears and now does not promote silver as a catalyst?
