The tiny motor, called a liquid metal droplet rotary paddle motor, works in a completely new way. Instead of traditional, rigid components like coils or magnets, the motor produces rotation by using ...

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that generates rotation through the internal flow of a droplet of ...
