The recent academic progresses as made on the three major themes regarding preparations, characteristics and applications of liquid metal materials are reviewed.

The recent academic progresses as made on the three major themes regarding preparations, characteristics and applications of liquid metal materials are reviewed.
Researchers from MIT present a strategy to increase printing resolution beyond the nozzle size, while drawing diverse complex patterns with a linear nozzle path.
AMI presents the impressive covers of its current issue, highlighting electrochemistry, acoustic streaming, superhydrophobicity, and precision APT.
Ting Zhang and co-workers from the Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences develop a novel superhydrophobic and piezoresistive coating for wearable sensing devices. The coating is durable in harsh conditions and can be used to detect real-time human movement when fabricated as a wearable strain sensor.
A novel, electroluminescent device concept that can emit light in response to the accumulation and distribution of materials on the device surface is developed.
Soft microswimmers that use a combination of acoustic and magnetic fields to demonstrate motion with precise manoeuvrability in a blood vessel.
A wearable liquid-embedded microfluidic tactile sensor capable of haptic perception has been prepared.
A microscopic light-fueled microhand designed to capture microscopic objects.
Advanced Science celebrates its new impact factor with the publication of an exclusive review issue.
A Janus copper sheet with binary cooperative wettability shows excellent interfacial stability.
