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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
