Microfluidic channels filled with EGaIn. The metal flows readily into microchannels by injecting it with a syringe, but stays in the microchannels in the absence of pressure because of the formation of the mechanically stabilizing surface oxide. The ability to deform the resulting metallic structures is limited only by the mechanical properties of the encasing polymer.
