摘要
Liquid metal is actuated against the force of gravity using low‐voltage, low‐power continuous electrowetting. The liquid metal moves from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir, a distance of 12 mm, in 1.66 s. This demonstrates that the electrokinetic actuation of liquid metal is not limited to two‐dimensional movement.
