Fast, Strong Capillary Liquid Metal Muscles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Capillary liquid metal muscles (CLMMs) harness the exceptionally high and electrochemically tunable surface tension of gallium‐based liquid metals (e.g., EGaIn) to generate mechanical work. Confinement within microchannels maximizes surface‐energy conversion, enabling high force, ultrafast response (<25 ms), low‐voltage operation (<10 V), and ...
