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.

Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...
