The boundary between solid metal and liquid metal can be much less "solid" than we ever suspected. RMIT researchers have discovered that the liquid-solid boundary can fluctuate back and forth, with ...

Liquid metal droplets fuse themselves into stretchable circuits at room temperature, driven only by surface tension gradients during solvent evaporation.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals are exceptional alloys with melting points so low that they can remain liquid at temperatures close to what we experience in our everyday environment. A popular ...

What if the world’s real energy breakthrough is waiting offshore? Most of the planet is covered by ocean, and now scientists are experimenting with ways to pull clean fuel directly from seawater.

A groundbreaking new method promises to reshape the way we manufacture nanoscale electronic components. It could offer a faster, cheaper, and more reliable alternative to traditional chip-making ...

Revived rumors of Apple using liquid metal for the iPhone Fold's hinge have been assisted by a leaker claiming that it will be more than twice as strong as a titanium-alloy version. On March 21, ...

Liquid metals can spontaneously bulge, protrude, branch and slither in response to certain ions in their environment. This happens due to the Marangoni effect, which starts with uneven changes in the ...

A team of Chinese biochemists, led by Jing Liu at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, claim that they have successfully used liquid metal to reconnect severed nerves, using the substance to transmit ...
