Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving ...

That’s because the fluid inside is an alloy of sodium and potassium in about a 1:3 ratio, known as NaK (pronounced like “knack”), which is a liquid at room temperature.

Wang’s research stars a liquid metal alloy Galinstan—a mixture of the elements gallium, indium, and tin. It boasts a melting point of negative 2 degrees F, so at room temperature, the metal is ...

Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, ...

AMES, Iowa – Just like a chameleon changes its skin color in response to its environment, engineers have found a way for liquid metal – and potentially solid metal – to change its surface structure in ...

Basically, a liquid metal alloy called Galinstan (gallium, indium, and tin), is mixed with microscopically dispersed insoluble particles of ceramic aluminum nitride.

This liquid metal is moving spontaneously. Researchers call it serpentine locomotion. It starts with the reaction of gallium in the metal with copper ions in the solution. This reaction creates a ...

Field's alloy is currently used as a liquid-metal coolant in nuclear engineering, among other applications, but the Watson team demonstrates other potential applications.

Liquid metals could make underwater devices, transforming robots or lightweight exoskeletons The shape-shifting robots from Terminator 2 may be in for a reboot on the high seas. A liquid metal ...

Asus is shipping its first laptop with a liquid-metal TIM this year. And that likely speaks to advances in the durability of the alloy. So this means PS5 will run as cool as an ice cube, right?

Dickey says the stretchable wire technique, outlined in a research paper entitled “ Ultrastretchable Fibers with Metallic Conductivity Using a Liquid Metal Alloy Core ” and published in the December ...
