While paper isn’t exactly a smart material, it someday could be if it is covered in a new type of liquid metal. This liquid alloy has the potential to turn paper and other materials into gadgets ...

Direct fabrication of liquid-metal multifunctional paper based on force-responsive adhesion. Cell Reports Physical Science, 2023 DOI: 10.1016/j.xcrp.2023.101419; Cite This Page: MLA; APA; ...

Flint’s battery only has three components: a zinc-based anode, a manganese-based cathode and the paper separator. Flint coats its cellulose paper, anode and cathode in hydrogel before baking it ...

Liquid metal encased in hydrogel makes a promising energy-harvesting device Any mechanical motion deforms the device, such as squishing, stretching, twisting. Jennifer Ouellette – Sep 30, 2021 5 ...

Using cellulose nanofibers from wood, researchers have made paper that can be tuned using a slow heat treatment to be effective semiconductors, some almost as conductive as metals (ACS Nano 2022 ...

The scientists published a paper on the new shape-shifting liquid in the journal Matter. In it, they discuss how they created the metal and the rigorous tests they put it through.
