To work out how to enable liquid metal to move autonomously, Professor Kourosh Kalantar - zadeh and his group from the School of Engineering at RMIT first immersed liquid metal droplets in water.
«Simply tweaking the water's chemistry made the liquid metal droplets move and change shape, without any need for external mechanical, electronic or optical stimulants.
Continuous motion of a self - propelling liquid metal droplet under a pH gradient, shown at different time intervals.
Not exact matches
In Vader's device, an electrically - pulsed magnetic field permeates liquid metal in an ejection chamber and creates circulating electrical currents that interact with the magnetic field to produce a pressure that squeezes a droplet out of the ejector nozzle.
A magnetic coil surrounds the tube and receives a short - lived electrical pulse to create a pressure within the tube that ejects a droplet of liquid metal through the orifice.
That was the key to making droplets of liquid metal eject from a nozzle.
For example, as much as 29 percent of global anthropogenic emissions of small particulate matter (tiny solid particles and liquid droplets from dust to metals that can penetrate deep into the lungs) come from trash fires, she estimates.
The tiny particles (they're just 1 to 20 millionths of a meter across) are created by exposing droplets of melted metal to oxygen, creating an oxidation layer that coats the droplets and stops the liquid metal from turning solid.
New method uses soft sheets made of silicone rubber that have many tiny droplets of liquid metal embedded inside them
One technique involves stacking droplets of liquid metal on top of each other, much like a stack of oranges at the supermarket.
April 9, 2018 - Researchers melted the metals together to form small droplets of liquid solutions at the high temperatures, which then rapidly cool to form homogeneous nanoparticles.
The solution was then hit with ultrasound, which forced the liquid metal to burst into nanoscale droplets approximately 100 nanometers in diameter.
