About

Junheng Fu is a rising researcher in the field of soft robotics and liquid metal technologies, with a focus on developing innovative materials and devices for next-generation flexible electronics and autonomous systems. Their work centers on harnessing the unique properties of gallium-based room-temperature liquid metals to create self-powered, responsive, and untethered soft machines. Fu’s most notable contribution is the pioneering concept of "self-fueled liquid metal motors," which demonstrated how liquid metal droplets can autonomously move and perform mechanical work without external power sources—a breakthrough with 33 citations that has inspired new directions in micro-robotics and energy harvesting. Additionally, Fu developed a liquid metal-based angle detection sensor (17 citations), advancing biomimetic sensory materials for soft robots and wearable devices. Their research on liquid metal-enabled soft actuators for untethered manipulation further showcases their ability to bridge fundamental materials science with practical engineering. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio of innovative designs, Junheng Fu is establishing themselves as a key contributor to the emerging field of liquid metal soft matter, with potential applications ranging from medical devices to autonomous micro-machines.
