Today's SciFri was brought to you by Jason who suggested this YouTube channel. 

​Mercury is a liquid at room temperature and is really interesting. Unfortunately, it is also dangerous to handle. These SciFri videos explore some cool properties of mercury as a liquid and a solid. Proper safety procedures in the video are lacking, so please make sure you consult with an expert should you have access to mercury or liquid nitrogen! :)
