HgOs is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining mercury and osmium, representing a rare material class that bridges metallic and ceramic behavior. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established commercial production, with potential applications in extreme-environment applications where the combination of high density and ceramic properties might offer advantages over conventional materials. Its notable characteristics stem from the refractory nature of osmium combined with mercury's unique properties, though practical engineering use remains limited due to mercury's toxicity, volatility, and regulatory constraints.
