Liquid Metals: Diverse Transformations of Liquid Metals Between Different Morphologies (Adv. Mater. 34/2014)

Abstract

On page 6036, J. Liu and co-workers discover electric-field-induced transformations of liquid metals between different morphologies and configurations. With these material-transformation capabilities, such materials are attractive for future applications such as liquid-metal recycling, soft machine manufacture, locomotion-assisted devices, movable sensors, microfluidic valves and pumps, or artificial robots.
