Liquid metal could turn everyday things like paper into smart objects
https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/06/liquid-metal-could-turn-everyday-things-like-paper-into-smart-objects/
Scientists have discovered a way to apply liquid metal to paper without an adhesive, which could turn everyday objects into smart gadgets. The metal coating conducts heat and electricity and can be used to create origami shapes that can re-fold themselves. The researchers believe this new method could be used to create smart materials for soft robots and space exploration.
