Abstract

In article number 1910709, Jing Liu and co-workers propose and demonstrate the first ever lightweight liquid metal entity, even lighter than water, and whose density can be controlled over a wide range. The excellent shapeabilty, phase transition capability, and electrical conductivity of the material makes its valuable for diverse areas such as soft robotics, wearable electronics, and underwater devices.
