Description: Michael DickeynnGallium-based liquid metals have remarkable properties: melting points below room temperature, water-like viscosity, low-toxicity (unlike Hg), and effectively zero vapor pressure (they don’t evaporate). They also have, by far, the largest interfacial tension of any liquid at room temperature. Yet, these liquid metals can be patterned into non-spherical shapes (cones, wires, etc) due to a thin, oxide skin that forms rapidly on its surface. We have harnessed this oxide to patt
