Abstract
There is a strong demand for developing tunable and facile routes for synthesizing gas-sensitive semiconducting compounds. The concept of synthesizing micro- and nanoparticles of metallic compounds in a tunable process, which relies on liquid metals, is presented here. This is a liquid-based ultrasonication procedure within which additional metallic elements (In, Sn, and Zn) are incorporated into liquid Ga that is sonicated in a secondary solvent. We investigate liquid metal sonication in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water to show their impact on the size, morphology, and crystal structure of the particulated products. The synthesized materials are annealed to investigate their responses to model reducing (H2) and oxidizing (NO2) gas species. The preparation process in DMSO gives rise to predominantly monoclinic Ga2O3 crystals which are favorable for gas sensing, while the emergence of rhombohedral Ga2O3 phases from the water sonication process led to inactive samples. The ease of tunability without hazardous precursors during the synthesis procedure is demonstrated. The route presented here can be uniquely employed for designing and engineering on-demand functional materials for sensing applications.

Abstract
Post-transition elements, together with zinc-group metals and their alloys belong to an emerging class of materials with fascinating characteristics originating from their simultaneous metallic and liquid natures. These metals and alloys are characterised by having low melting points (i.e. between room temperature and 300 °C), making their liquid state accessible to practical applications in various fields of physical chemistry and synthesis. These materials can offer extraordinary capabilities in the synthesis of new materials, catalysis and can also enable novel applications including microfluidics, flexible electronics and drug delivery. However, surprisingly liquid metals have been somewhat neglected by the wider research community. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals underlying liquid metal research, including liquid metal synthesis, surface functionalisation and liquid metal enabled chemistry. Furthermore, we discuss phenomena that warrant further investigations in relevant fields and outline how liquid metals can contribute to exciting future applications.

Abstract
We use high-speed video imaging to investigate vapor explosions during the impact of a molten Field's metal drop onto a pool of water. These explosions occur for temperatures above the Leidenfrost temperature and are observed to occur in up to three stages as the metal temperature is increased, with each explosion being more powerful that the preceding one. The Field's metal drop breaks up into numerous microbeads with an exponential size distribution, in contrast to tin droplets where the vapor explosion deforms the metal to form porous solid structures. We compare the characteristic bead size to the wavelength of the fastest growing mode of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
