Liquid Metal Combinatorics toward Materials Discovery (Adv. Mater. 52/2023)

Abstract

Materials Discovery In article number 2303533, Wei Rao, Jing Liu, and co-workers propose a generalized theoretical frame “liquid metal combinatorics” (LMC) to predict technical routes toward endless materials discovery. Through physical combinations, chemical reactions, or biological binding, abundant materials with outstanding functions can be efficiently fabricated by liquid metals around room temperature. The LMC principle represents a large class of powerful, reliable, and even modular ways for innovating future-generation materials.
