Advanced Science, EarlyView.Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐modified liquid‐metal particles form conductive networks through spray‐induced self‐fusion without additional post‐treatment. Spray impact initiates oxide‐shell rupture and electrical contact, while subsequent Marangoni flow and capillary forces promote particle redistribution, neck growth, and network consolidation. This sequential
