But, the researchers explain, heavy liquid metal coolants (HLMCs) “such as lead (Pb), lead-bismuth eutectic alloy (PbBi) and lithium lead alloy (LiPb) are corrosive fluids, though they have ...

Liquid metals could make underwater devices, transforming robots or lightweight exoskeletons The shape-shifting robots from Terminator 2 may be in for a reboot on the high seas. A liquid metal ...
