Terminator style liquid metal has been devised -- for an antenna.

Terminator style liquid metal has been devised -- for an antenna. Or maybe what was devised was a new electrochemical method for reversible, pump-free control of liquid eutectic gallium and indium (EGaIn) in a capillary. "The simplicity of applying a small positive voltage to cause the metal to flow into a capillary, and a small negative voltage to make it withdraw again, obviously takes place on a much smaller scale than the mimetic poly-alloy which makes up the Terminator." You don't say.
"Our antenna prototype using liquid metal can tune over a range of at least two times greater than systems using electronic switches."
