Summary: Three-dimensional liquid metal structures can be created using ductile gallium-indium alloy wires encapsulated in an elastomer and heated to recover their fluidity. This technology overcomes the challenge of building complex circuits with liquid metals and has potential applications in soft and stretchable electronics. The technique allows the fabrication of high-sensitivity strain sensors, three-dimensional interconnect arches for LED arrays, and wearable sensors and flexible circuit boards for motion monitoring.

Summary: By injecting liquid metal into living plants, electronic components such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors can be successfully fabricated, enabling real-time monitoring of plant physiological signals and endowing plants with diverse electronic capabilities. The resulting injectable electrodes exhibit outstanding signal capture capability and anti-interference characteristics, injectable resistance and capacitance sensors provide useful ways for plant monitoring, and injectable capacitance sensors offer access to plant interior information. Additionally, antennas with variable characteristics are manufactured and evaluated in situ in living plants, demonstrating the potential of plant injectable electronics. This principle signifies a paradigm shift in combining plants and electronics and opens up possibilities for further research in plant electrophysiology, electronic plants, and plant robots.

Summary: This study presents a nanotechnology strategy for tumor radiosensitization using nanosized gallium-indium eutectic alloys as a radiosensitizer. The functionalized nanoparticles show low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and in-situ gel formation in the tumor microenvironment. Due to their metallic nature, they can increase the generation of reactive oxygen species under X-ray irradiation, leading to enhanced tumor inhibition. Additionally, these nanoparticles also serve as imaging contrast agents for computed tomography and photoacoustic tomography.

Summary: Coordination chemistry plays a vital role in studying the material properties of metal-organic systems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant attention in medical science due to their large surface area, clear pore network, and catalytic performance. Core-shell MOF materials have higher loading rate and better stability compared to traditional MOFs, making them promising for various tumor treatments. This review article discusses the synthesis, structure, and potential applications of core-shell MOF materials in tumor therapy, including chemotherapy, phototherapy, and anti-hypoxia therapy.

Summary: With the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, the hazards caused by drug-resistant bacteria are increasing rapidly. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new non-antibiotic antibacterial drugs. Liquid metal, with excellent biocompatibility and diverse multifunctionalities, has stimulated research on its antibacterial application. This research focuses on gallium (a type of liquid metal) ions disrupting the normal metabolism of iron ions, resulting in the development of several gallium-based antimicrobial agents. In addition, emerging strategies such as physical sterilization and thermal destruction are gaining attention. Unlike traditional antibacterial agents, liquid metal materials bring innovation to the antibacterial field.
