Aluminum galinstan Al/GaInSn is an amalgam of aluminum and galinstan used for reductive amination. It's a useful and non-toxic alternative to aluminum mercury Al/Hg.

I heated galinstan and aluminum and stirred to make aluminum galinstan.

I reduced phenyl-2-butanone (or P-2-Bu), and ammonia in ethanol solution using aluminum galinstan and then filtered to make phenylisobutylamine, and dried it with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Then reacted the phenylisobutylamine ethanol solution with hydrogen chloride gas to make phenylisobutylamine HCl. The liquid galinstan was recoverable and reusable.

Galinstan

Galinstan is a non-toxic, liquid metal alloy which melts at 11 °C (52 °F). It's made by combining gallium, indium, and tin. It's fun to play with and also do science experiments with. It's liquid metal you can hold in your hand. It's good to wear gloves while handling Galinstan. Galinstan stains hands and stuff, but you can wash it out with soap and water.

This Galinstan is so fun to play with!

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
