TL;DR: Room-temperature liquid metal is discovered to be capable of penetrating through macro- and microporous materials by applying a voltage, offering new opportunities for novel microfluidic applications and could promote further discovery of more exotic fluid states of liquid metals.
Abstract: Room-temperature liquid metal is discovered to be capable of penetrating through macro- and microporous materials by applying a voltage. The liquid metal penetration effects are demonstrated in various porous materials such as tissue paper, thick and fine sponges, fabrics, and meshes. The underlying mechanism is that the high surface tension of liquid metal can be significantly reduced to near-zero due to the voltage-induced oxidation of the liquid metal surface in a solution. It is the extremely low surface tension and gravity that cause the liquid metal to superwet the solid surface, leading to the penetration phenomena. These findings offer new opportunities for novel microfluidic applications and could promote further discovery of more exotic fluid states of liquid metals.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship among transport parameters and the mean square composition fluctuations as determined by measurements of the chemical potentials is described for a variety of binary liquid metal alloys and the thermodynamic basis for the analysis given in terms of the concentration correlation functions as well as more traditional thermodynamic parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the depression of the surface tension of a liquid metal by a binary surface compound which is formed from a pair of solutes is considered and necessary thermodynamic equations are developed for the case in which the solutes are not separately surface active.
Abstract: The depression of the surface tension of a liquid metal by a binary surface compound which is formed from a pair of solutes is considered. The necessary thermodynamic equations are developed for the case in which the solutes are not separately surface active. It is shown that the published experimental results for liquid Fe-Cr-C alloys are fully consistent with the formation of the surface compound “CrC” and that the results for Fe-Si-C alloys might indicate coverage by “SiC”.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single nitrogen bubble was modeled using two-dimensional moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method and the bubble shape, rising velocity and aspect ratio during the rising process of single nitrogen bubbles were studied.
