Rise of the real Terminator: Scientists create shape-shifting liquid metal

  • Scientists used an alloy of gallium and indium to create the liquid metal
  • When the alloy was placed on a flat table, it formed into a spherical ball
  • It surface tension was reduced by applying a small amount of electricity
  • Changing the voltage allowed the metal to change shape and structure

Scientists have come a step closer to creating terrifying Terminator-style robots that can instantly repair themselves.

In what sounds like the precursor to a science fiction film, a Carolina research team has managed to create self-healing liquid metal.

The team claims the breakthrough could lead to better electronic circuits, self-repairing structures and perhaps, someday, T-1000-style robots.

Scientists used an alloy of gallium and indium to create the liquid metal. Gallium is liquid at 29°C (84°F), while Indium has a higher melting point of 156°C (312°F).

However, when combined, the alloy remains liquid at room temperature with a high surface tension of around 500 millinewtons per meter (mN/m).

This means that when this alloy is placed on a flat table, it will form into an almost perfect ball, and holds its shape.

The surface tension can be reduced by applying a voltage of less than one volt, causing the metal to spread out flat on the surface.

The research followed a separate study last year, more than 20 years after the 1991 film Terminator 2 (pictured) was released, in which scientists claimed to have developed the world's first self-healing polymer
