Traditionally, antennas are made from copper and come in a rigid yet fragile anatomy factor. Well, glad to say that with the advent of technology, all of it could change in the future, where the typical copper antenna will be phased out by an alloy version which can be bent in just about any direction before returning to its native shape. that is made possible courtesy of micro liquid metal chambers located within that structure the building blocks of the antenna. As with most promising technology, the military will benefit from it first before it reaches the general populace.

A group at MIT led by Professor Donald Sadoway is busy developing grid-scale storage solutions for times when electricity is scarce. They’ve come up with a rather novel way to keep things running, which is by using high temperature liquid medals. The team has even had date to award a grant from ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency and Energy. We’re not too certain how getting high temperature liquid metals will be feasibly, but we’ll leave that to the experts for the moment.
