Their 'gingerbread house' isn't made out of gingerbread either.
Gallium melts at 85F. So it will liquefy from the warmth of a human hand.
You certainly can't put it in the oven.
Last Christmas I got my son 100g of gallium from eBay. Fun stuff. Pour it in a wax mold, and then pop it into the refrigerator to harden. Drop it in warm water to liquify it again.
Not just this reporter but also the guy who did it: "Compared to the size of a typical gingerbread house that you might buy in a grocery store kit, mine is 20,000 times smaller," he explained.
Ten times smaller? (Score:2)
What does that mean, exactly? I assume they meant '1/10th the diameter' but c'mon.
