Zapping liquid metal droplets with ultrasound offers a new way to make wiring for stretchy, bendy electronics. The technique, described in the Nov. 11 Science, adds a new approach to the toolbox ...

The shape-shifting Terminator T-1000 robot which appeared in the 1990s film franchise could become a reality after a breakthrough in liquid-metal technology, scientists have claimed.

The 'self-fuelled liquid motor' was designed at Tsinghua University, China. It 'eats' aluminium flakes to create bubbles. These bubbles then propel it forward, or around a Petri dish (shown).
