In case you missed it, here's Professor Donald Sadoway's Monday-night appearance on The Colbert Report, where he discussed his liquid metal battery, an invention he thinks could help bring about world peace.
Sadoway holds his own against Colbert, who manages to reference unappetizing grilled-cheese sandwiches, an Exxon Mobil hitman, and Goo Gone in the short segment.
