Souce This reminds me of something, that we're trying to recreate all the dystopian futures in science fiction at the same time, so we're trying to create robots out of liquid metal, which could go wrong.
Humans like to make robots and on the scale from Wally to Terminator I estimate that we are about halfway to the uprising of the machines thanks mainly to Boston dynamics, whose publications began to worry me for many years now and now we have liquid metal robots.
It is a tiny robot, only 7 millimeters tall, it has an amazing quality of melting its solid metal body to escape from a small cage in a liquid state and then returning to its solid state outside its cage.
They call it active Magneto phase transition matter, the metal they chose for the study is gallium, which is solid below 30 degrees Celsius, but if it goes over 30 degrees it becomes liquid, gallium is a metal that does not present magnetism, that is, if you pass a magnet over it, it does not stick, although it does have a little bit of magnetism, but only in very specific and very weak situations, so they are useful for study as well.

Through the orientation of the magnetic field, they can move or rotate it to do their job, they can also transform their shape and adapt to certain needs.

Also two pieces of this material can charge a led to its place on a circuit board and then melt and become the solder that connects to the led and a third arrives to close the circuit.
