Liquid-metal machines could wipe out maintenance issues for continuous flow reactors. Metals that are liquid at room temperature, such as gallium and its alloys, are attractive materials due to their ...

The study, published January 13 in Physical Review Letters, replaces the metal or plastic cogs of conventional gears with controlled flows of liquid. In their experiments, ...

While cell-phone cameras are growing in popularity, their electromechanical autofocus lens systems can be costly and complicated. Yet a liquid lens from Varioptic promises to lower these costs and ...

Metals that are liquid at room temperature, such as gallium and its alloys, are attractive materials due to their unique electrical, thermal and fluidic properties. In a study published in the journal ...
