Article Synopsis
- Actively triggerable materials can provide better control over the lifespan of biomedical technologies but often lack durability; traditional choices like polymers have limitations compared to stronger metals.
- Metals, specifically using a method called liquid metal embrittlement, can be engineered to break down under certain conditions; this involves liquid metals weakening solid metals at their grain boundaries.
- The study showcases eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn), a biocompatible metal alloy that effectively triggers the breakdown of aluminum in relevant biological settings, and discusses three potential applications for these actively triggerable metals in biomedical devices.

Article Synopsis
- * The new device utilizes knotted pressure sensors made with liquid metal-infused silicone, mimicking ancient Andean quipu for data transmission.
- * Testing showed that the device's performance is comparable to commercial manometers, potentially making GI motility assessment more accessible in resource-limited environments.
