Scientists have developed the world's first liquid metal enabled pump, a revolutionary new micro-scale device with no mechanical parts. The unique design will enable micro-fluidics and lab-on-a ...

It flows just like the liquid metal that surrounds our planet's solid inner core, and it also generates magnetic fields when it does. Since its ability to generate magnetic fields is five times ...

A ceramic pump can handle the heat; careful engineering prevents it from cracking. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Stanford, and Purdue University have built a ceramic ...

Shape-shifting liquid metal robots might not be ... which can be controlled remotely with a magnetic field, is thanks to the metal gallium. Researchers embedded the metal with magnetic particles ...

Danamics reckons the new-look LMX will provide a 300 per cent increase in liquid-metal circulation, thanks primarily to a revamped pump. An iron core is in place to reduce the unit's magnetic ...

They made the millimetre-sized robot from a mix of the liquid metal gallium and microscopic pieces of a magnetic material made of neodymium, iron and boron. When solid, the material was strong ...

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 ...
