We report here an experimental study of collective modes in molten nickel, a case of exceptional geophysical interest for its relevance in Earth interior science. Our result shed light on previously reported contrasting evidences: in the explored energy-momentum region no deviation from the generalized hydrodynamic picture describing non conductive fluids are observed. Implications for high frequency transport properties in metallic fluids are discussed.6 pages, 4 figures, to appear in "Journal of Chemical Physics"Disordered Systems and Neural Networkstext
