About
Mingming Fu is a pioneering researcher in the field of soft robotics and advanced liquid metal composites, with a particular focus on magnetic liquid metal (LM) soft robots. Their key contributions center on solving the critical challenge of maintaining long-term magnetism in LM composites, which traditionally degrade due to alloying between liquid metal and metallic magnetic powders. Fu's landmark 2023 paper, "Reactive wetting enabled anchoring of non-wettable iron oxide in liquid metal for miniature soft robot," has already garnered 85 citations, demonstrating its immediate impact. In this work, Fu introduced an innovative reactive wetting strategy that allows non-wettable iron oxide particles to be stably anchored within liquid metal, preserving magnetic properties over time and enabling the creation of durable, miniature soft robots. This breakthrough addresses a fundamental limitation in the field, opening new possibilities for untethered, maneuverable soft robots in biomedical and environmental applications. Fu's research elegantly combines materials science, interfacial chemistry, and robotics, establishing them as a rising leader in next-generation soft robotic systems.
