Indium Unveiled: The Soft Metal Powering Screens and Beyond

Join us for a deep dive into indium—the silvery, ultra-soft metal behind touchscreens and more. We trace how it’s a byproduct of zinc refining, why it’s in demand despite rarity, and what the future could look like with recycling, substitutes, and shifting tech needs. We’ll also explore its surprising uses—from alloys to nuclear reactors and dental fillings—and the quirky science of crystal twinning that makes indium cry when bent.
