Abstract

This study demonstrates the utilization of a balsa wood vessel to confine liquid metal, wherein the dynamic wetting behavior of the liquid metal enables high-performance tilt sensing functionality. It is capable of achieving full-angle monitoring ranging from −90 to 90°, with continuous rotation over 3000 cycles, attaining 99% accuracy and a resolution of 0.1 degrees. This device has been successfully applied to fall alarms, dynamic monitoring of mechanical equipment, and water wave monitoring, demonstrating highly promising performance. This study presents a design that leverages biomass materials and liquid metal to achieve sensing functionality, thereby paving the way for research directions in the development of high-performance biosensors.
