What is it about?
We demonstrate for the first time the electrodeposition of liquid metal. This "bottom-up" approach bypasses the limitations imposed by the high surface tension of liquid metal and enables patterning with record-high resolution (300 nm) and filling high aspect ratio vias in elastomers.
