Voltage-driven liquid metal fractals Date: October 30, 2017 Source: North Carolina State University Summary: Researchers have found that gallium indium (EGaIn), a liquid metal with one of the ...

Currently, small metal implants either have to be ... a solution containing EGaIn was orally administered. As the liquid passed over the device, it caused the aluminum connectors to break down ...

On the inside of the polymer was a series of tiny glass beads, which keep the EGaIn from pooling in one spot. That makes the new material a stretchy, flexible polymer with a liquid metal center ...

such as eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) and gallium-indium-tin (Galinstan). Liquid metals can be synthesized and processed using various techniques, depending on the desired application and the ...

EGaIn is a liquid metal with properties favorable for battery electrodes, including high conductivity, deformability, and self-healing behavior. However, in bulk form, it suffers from shape ...

It is less expensive than eGaIn, making it a more attractive option for some applications. Scientists have had trouble sticking liquid metal to surfaces like paper, plastic, cloth, and human skin ...

Therefore, simple and energy-efficient methods for preparing high-performance nanoporous metal catalysts are highly ... with a eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn) material with a copper substrate.

To overcome these challenges, the research team combined KE, a protein abundant in feathers and wool, with eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) liquid metal. The KE provides biocompatibility ...
