The metal gallium becomes a liquid at slightly above room temperature, one of its many remarkable properties that researchers are investigating. Feature China/Future Publishing via Getty Images Every ...

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid metal. The breakthrough could transform soft robotics, flexible electronics, ...

A liquid metal droplet can generate rotation without gears, changing how motors may work in soft and flexible machines.

The Portland duo's beguiling Captured Tracks debut LP bears traces of virtually every bleakly gliding descendant of Kraftwerk's original synth-pop grooves. Soft Metals' self-titled album extends that ...

A liquid metal droplet that splits and merges to pump fluid offers a simple, low-voltage engine for powering soft robots, wearables, and microfluidic systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Soft machines are ...

Engineers have created a hybrid material featuring stiff metal and soft, porous rubber foam that combines the best properties of both -- stiffness when it's called for, and elasticity when a change of ...

Engineers developed a metal-free, Jelly-like material that is as soft and tough as biological tissue and can conduct electricity similarly to conventional metals. The new material, which is a type of ...
