The primary application of indium is to make indium tin oxide (ITO), which is transparent and electrically conductive, making it essential for producing LCD screens, touch panels, and solar cells.
When a bar of pure indium is bent, it emits a distinctive high-pitched "cry" or squealing sound due to the rearrangement of its crystals.
It is named after the color indigo, because of the bright indigo-blue line in its atomic spectrum.
Indium is so soft that you can easily bite into it or scratch it with your fingernail.
It 'wets' glass, meaning it can adhere to it, which is a rare property for metals.
