A team of researchers have developed a novel method for manipulating the surface tension of liquid metals by the application of very low voltages. This method holds promise for advanced reconfigurable antennas and electronic circuits. The technique is based on the fact that the removable oxide skin of the metal behaves similar to a surfactant, which reduces the surface tension between the fluid and the metal.
