Liquid metal will wet to most metallic surfaces. Specifically though, room-temperature liquid metal can be very reactive with certain metals. Liquid metal can dissolve most metals; however, at moderate temperatures, only some are slightly soluble, such as sodium, potassium, gold, magnesium, lead, nickel and mercury. Gallium is corrosive to all metals except tungsten and tantalum, which have a high resistance to corrosion, more so than niobium, titanium and molybdenum. Similar to indium, gallium and gallium-containing alloys have the ability to wet to many non-metallic surfaces such as glass and quartz. Gently rubbing the alloy into the surface may help induce wetting. However,
Liquid metal printing process, the dielectric substrate encapsulating the liquid metal; 3. the electro-textile copper (35%copper, 65%polyester, thickness 0.08 mm, resistivity 0.05 Ω/sq) constituting the antenna ground plane. In 2015, Jie Zhang's team found that the liquid metal (i.e. EGaIn, Galinstan) placed in the electrolyte (NaOH, NaCl or NaCO solutions) can provide energy by “ingesting” aluminum as a food or fuel, enabling high-speed, high-efficiency long-term operation. A small piece of aluminum can drive liquid metal balls with a diameter of about 5 mm to achieve long-term operation. More than 1 hour of continuous exercise, speed up to 5cm/s . This flexible machine
