From Droplets to Devices: Recent Advances in Liquid Metal Droplet Enabled Electronics (Adv. Funct. Mater. 31/2024)

Abstract

Liquid Metal Droplets Gallium-based liquid metal droplets (LMDs) offer a promising avenue for next-generation soft electronics, as they combine the fluidity and electrical conductivity of liquid metals with the advantages of miniaturized structures. In article number 2308116, Wedyan Babatain, Muhammad Mustafa Hussain, and Min Sung Kim discuss their unique properties, fabrication methods, and potential applications in sensors, robotics, circuits, energy harvesters, drug delivery, microfluidics, and reconfigurable systems.
