METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR VOLTAGE CONTROLLED RECONFIGURATION OF LIQUID METAL STRUCTURES

摘要

The subject matter described herein relates to voltage controlled reconfiguration of liquid metal structures. According to one exemplary method, a container is provided. An electrolyte is provided in the container. A liquid metal structure is provided in the container and at least partially in contact with the electrolyte. A voltage is applied between the liquid metal structure and the electrolyte to change the shape of the liquid metal structure such that the structure achieves a desired shape for an electrical, optical, mechanical, or thermal application.
