Medicine & TechnologyColloidal diamonds - stable, self-assembled material with promising applications in light-related technologies - can now be fabricated, decades after its concept was first developed in the 90s.
A team of North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers have created a reconfigurable liquid metal antenna controlled only by voltage. Liquid metal electronics have held the interest of the scientific community for years, but previous to this discovery these devices were not readily integrated into electronic systems because they required external pumps. This discovery advances the technology past this significant drawback.
