Liquid metal as a heat transfer medium offers much better heat transfer compared to classic thermal paste. However, in practice it also harbors dangers, for example due to spillage.

The shiny liquid metal can be manipulated with magnets. It stretches like the fictional T-1000 robot from Terminator 2, and can also be used to complete a circuit.

Nanotechnology could be used to build the embedded control system, sensors and computers for any liquid metal robot. Liquid metal may be the first step in a new arms race.

What do scanning electron microscopes and satellites have in common? On the face of things, not much, but after seeing [Zachary Tong]’s latest video on liquid metal ion thrusters, we see that… ...

While paper isn’t exactly a smart material, it someday could be if it is covered in a new type of liquid metal. This liquid alloy has the potential to turn paper and other materials into gadgets ...

Liquid Metal Battery, as its name implies, is building a battery where all the active materials--the cathode, anode, and electrolyte--are in a liquid form at high temperatures.

The PlayStation 5 uses liquid metal as its thermal-interface material. Don't worry, I'll explain what that means, but just know that's it's impressive.

Using magnets, researchers can manipulate a liquid metal to shape-shift, whip around, and levitate, all hands-free.

This tiny robot can melt, escape from a prison by sliding through secure bars, and then reform into a solid and complete tasks. The metal microbot, made out of liquid metal microparticles that can ...

Researchers have created a "Terminator-like" liquid metal that has the ability to stretch horizontally and vertically, as well as changing shapes, according to a new study.

A group of scientists have created a robot made of shape-shifting liquid that they can control to jump, escape cages, and more.

Electronics cooling liquid metal Do it while it's hot: Liquid metal damage successfully repaired on a GeForce RTX 3090 Most people should stick to thermal paste By Daniel Sims March 12, 2024 at 11 ...
