Magnetoactive phase transitional matter (MPTM) are miniature robotic machines that can change their shape by switching between liquid and solid state.
Jan 26, 2023 · The robot is made up of material known as magnetoactive phase transitional matter – or MPTM, for short. A magnetic field, at a certain intensity, induces an electric current inside the...
Feb 16, 2023 · MPTM is a material that can switch between solid and liquid states in response to a magnetic field. Learn how engineers used MPTM to build a soft robot that can escape from a cage like the T-1000 in Terminator 2.
Jan 26, 2023 · Researchers from the Shenzhen Campus of Sun Yat-sen University, Carnegie Mellon University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Zhejiang University have created a new phase-shifting material — dubbed a magnetoactive phase transitional matter (MPTM) — by embedding magnetic neodymium-iron-boron microparticles in gallium, a ...
Magnetoactive phase transitional matter (MPTM) is made of NdFeB embedded liquid metal. MPTMs can reversibly switch between solid and liquid phase. MPTMs can solder electronic components and assemble parts in hard-to-reach space. MPTMs can remove foreign objects or deliver drugs in a model stomach.
Jan 27, 2023 · The team showed that MPTM could be used as soldering robots for assembling and repairing wireless circuits, demonstrating it could ooze into hard-to-reach circuits and act as both solder and ...
Jan 25, 2023 · This “magnetoactive phase transitional matter” (MPTM) uniquely combines the high mechanical strength, load capacity, and fast locomotion speed the solid phase with “excellent...
