Sliding cell.- A robot managed to turn into a liquid state in order to pass through the prison fence, as we saw in the movie “terminator,
Surely you remember the scene in the tape “Terminator 2” where the robot T-1000, played by actor Robert Patrick, passed through the bars of a cell as it became a liquid state. , a scene we’ve always considered the kind of fantasy that would never come true.
But it turns out that a group of university researchers Carnegie Mellon He’s playing God, and he showed off a little Lego-like robot that can switch between states of matter using the power of a magnet.
Describing their experiment in the journal Science, these scientists said, “Giving robots the ability to switch between liquid and solid states gives them greater functionality.” Case,
In the images shown, you can see the tiny robot going through the bars, as seen in an 80s movie, leaving more than one person with their mouths open.
Chinese and American researchers have created a metal robot that changes from liquid to solid and solid to liquid and is becoming promising in the technical and medical fields. They called it MPTM, an acronym for Magnetoactive Phase Transition Material. pic.twitter.com/KEMfBYzRQJ

The discovery was achieved using phase-change polymers embedded with magnetic microparticles, which were fused by external heat sources, such as lasers, giving the microparticles the ability to change shape when exposed to a magnetic field.
“They are solid and semi-solid machines with limited morphological adaptability or they are liquid or pasty with low mechanical resistance, poor mechanical integrity, poor controllability and low rotational speed”, the research team said, and see whether Sheldon Cooper explains to us.
“Future work should explore how these robots could be used in a biomedical context,” said Professor Carmel Meidi, a mechanical engineer and lead author of the study.
