The US military developed liquid metal that could change its structure on its own
The elongation of conductive materials often reduces conductivity and increases resistance because the atomic bonds change in them. However, the newly given material could do the opposite.
US military researchers revealed they have developed liquid metal systems that can change their structure by stretching or stretching themselves.
This new material is called Polymerized Liquid Metal Network.
Information from the US Air Force Laboratory says the new material is called Polymerised Liquid Metal Network . It consists of self-organizing nanostructures, constructed from individual loose metal particles encased in an interconnected shell.
These networks can stretch up to 700% and can automatically respond to each situation and still return to the original state. Each cycle that lasts after the first time shows that the conductivity increases and then can still return to normal. The documents said that the special network can perform 10,000 different cycles.
Dr. Christopher Tabor thinks this reaction to stretching is the exact opposite of what we used to know. The properties of this material can be applied in the next generation of many electronic devices.
Meanwhile, Captain Carl Thrasher, a chemical researcher at the lab, notes that the polymerised liquid metal network is ideal for energy supply that can be extended in the future. Human communication systems will be able to operate continuously, weigh less and provide more power with this technology.
