This project aims to hybridise low toxicity liquid metal alloys of gallium with surface confined functional micro/nano materials and explore fundamental new fluidic and physical-chemistry phenomena. Liquid metals are an under-used group of materials, but their combination of flexibility, bestowed by their room temperature fluidity, and metallic properties means they demonstrate startling behaviour. The expected outcomes are new devices and systems such as reconfigurable and highly efficient actuators/generators, catalysts, sensors, and electronic and optical components.

该项目旨在将镓的低毒性液体金属合金与表面限制的功能性微/纳米材料杂交，并探索基本的新流体和物理化学现象。液态金属是一种未被充分利用的材料，但它们的室温流动性和金属特性赋予了它们的灵活性，这意味着它们表现出惊人的行为。预期的成果是新的设备和系统，如可重新配置和高效的致动器/发电机，催化剂，传感器以及电子和光学部件。
