amalgams
Mixtures of metals
Amalgams are mixtures or combinations of different elements.
In chemistry, an amalgam specifically contains mercury alloyed with another metal—dental fillings were traditionally mercury-silver amalgams.
More broadly, amalgam describes any blend of diverse components: The film is an amalgam of horror and comedy.
American culture is an amalgam of influences from around the world.
