The Portland State spinout has raised an undisclosed sum to fund work on a conducive metal fluid that can make elastic materials electroactive.
Liquid Wire, a US-based conducive material developer spun out from Portland State University, has raised an undisclosed sum of seed funding from research centre Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (Onami).
Founded in 2016, Liquid Wire is developing a conducive metal fluid called MetalGel that enables power transmission within a range of elastic materials to run devices such as wearable electronics.
MetalGel, a gallium-indium alloy-based fluid, is the result of a chemical reaction analogue to gelification and can be printed or…
