A quirky fluid that has robotic capabilities

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Scientists have designed a liquid that behaves as both a solid and a fluid owing to the presence of tiny gas-filled capsules. An unusual relationship between pressure and volume enables this material to grasp fragile objects.
