Scientists create a shapeshifting robot that is made from liquid metal...
Hasn't anyone seen Terminator 2 ?!?
This situation did end well for mankind on the big screen!
Magnetoactive solid-liquid phase transitional matter was published on Matter. Thanks to the authors, Prof. Lelun Jiang, Prof. Carmel Majidi @SoftMachinesLab, and Qingyuan Wang. @ChengfengPan @Pan_ZJU
It’s not exactly the T-1000—yet. But researchers have created a liquid metal robot that can mimic the shape-shifting abilities of the silvery, morphing killer robot in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. https://t.co/tyNW1CPLCy
Missed the interview? Here it is: https://t.co/ilaoYce7xS Carmel Majidi talks with @cheddar about stretchable batteries, flexible electronics, and their impact for the future of health care. @SoftMachinesLab#cmuengineering
Congrats to Dongye for her paper in Advanced Energy Materials on a soft liquid metal battery. The battery is stretchable to 300% strain! @AdvSciNews @CMU_Mech

Congrats all.@SoftMachinesLab And especially thanks Jingxian and Prof. Kumar. This elastic conductor is based on the composite with microstructure by introducing silver-coated elastomer beads. Check out our paper.
Congrats to @ChengfengPan and Yunsik Ohm for their paper @ACS_AMI on silver-coated elastomer beads. Special thanks to Jingxian Wang and @swarunk for collaborating on the wireless sensing glove. https://t.co/EsYGcTuRwk
If you're choosing your PhD advisor, remember that the research you will do for the next 5 years is important, but even more important is finding the person who will be your mentor and champion throughout your career. You will never regret choosing a great mentor. #PhDchat
