Liquid metal works great as thermal paste, but the hidden costs aren't worth it

Recent analysis confirms that while liquid metal offers superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional thermal pastes, its practical application in consumer electronics, particularly for CPUs and GPUs, is fraught with significant hidden costs and risks. These drawbacks, including the potential for electrical short circuits and material degradation, largely negate the performance benefits for the average user and professional alike, making it an unviable mainstream cooling solution.

A ‘forbidden planet’ the size of Jupiter has astronomers stumped

Astronomers have discovered a "forbidden planet" named TOI-5205 b, a gas giant roughly the size of Jupiter, orbiting a small red dwarf star. Its existence has baffled scientists because current planetary formation theories struggle to explain how such a large planet, with an unusual amount of heavy metals in its atmosphere, could have formed around a star so comparatively small and low in these heavier elements. This discovery, made with the TESS satellite, represents a significant anomaly in our understanding of how solar systems develop.
