Thermoelectricity, metallic liquidity, and magnetohydrodynamics.

The article discusses the phenomenon of thermoelectricity and its connection to metallic liquidity and magnetohydrodynamics. Thermoelectricity refers to the generation of an electric field by a temperature gradient, while metallic liquidity allows for heat to flow through thermal convection. The study focuses on the junction between liquid metals, specifically mercury and gallium, and explores the enhanced thermoelectric current and the role of a uniform magnetic field in this context. The findings have implications for understanding thermoelectric phenomena in fluid environments and may have technological applications in thermal management and liquid batteries.
