Abstract

On-demand magnetic control of pure liquid metals is an unresolved problem. In article number 2000732, Liang Hu and co-workers propose that the van der Waals adhesion established between the ferromagnetic materials and the liquid metal droplets in acid solution provides actuation force. This mechanism realizes controllable and magnetic manipulation of liquid metal without changing its chemical nature.
