Liquid Metals as Vital Materials for Future Deep-Space Missions
A research team led by Prof. Liu Jing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shown that room‑temperature liquid metals can serve as critical materials for deep‑space missions. Published in Cell Press Blue, the study highlights liquid‑metal‑based power systems, propulsion, thermal‑management, soft robotics, and smart spacesuits. The authors argue that liquid metals’ high thermal conductivity, low vapor pressure and vibration‑free pumping make them ideal for harsh extraterrestrial environments. The findings suggest a new material platform that could reshape spacecraft design and life‑support architecture.
