indium
Soft silvery element
Indium is a soft, silvery-white metallic element, atomic number 49.
It's malleable enough to be cut with a knife and leaves a streak when drawn across paper.
Indium is used in low-melting alloys, semiconductors, and the thin transparent coatings on touchscreens and flat-panel displays.
Indium tin oxide makes your phone screen responsive to touch.
