Description
Xuedong Qiang and co-authors built an information encryption system driven by how liquid metal wets surfaces in a 2026 engineering study. Standard optical and electronic encryption can fall to analysis because materials respond predictably; a fluid metal's shifting surface is harder to clone.
Their system joins an inclinometer sensor exploiting liquid metal's dynamic wetting, a 3D motion platform, and a probe-driven transmission mechanism. Machine control and fluid dynamics together encode information physically across several modes. Tests encrypted and decrypted images and text with high precision and steadiness. Four separate settings guard the code, and decoding tolerates deviations only below 0.02 percent. The authors frame it as a materials-driven route to flexible, high-security storage.
