Hello, I am posting this for a collegue:

Has anybody ever heard of a liquid called RED MERCURY
with a mass density of 20.2 that sells for the huge
amount of $ 400,000.- per kg. and is being used in
radar- and space-technology.

He likes to know, what kind of material this possibly
can be, why it is so expensive, and some details about
possible applications in radar or missile technology.
