Indium is a soft, silvery-white metal that is classified within the post-transition metals group. Known for its malleability, ductility, and ability to conduct electricity, indium is unique due to its rarity in the Earth's crust and its diverse applications in modern technology. Discovered in 1863 by German chemists Ferdinand Reich and Hieronymus Theodor Richter, indium is primarily extracted from zinc ores as a by-product. It is widely recognized for its low melting point and ability to remain stable over a broad range of temperatures, making it indispensable in certain high-tech applications.
