Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have successfully visualized a detailed three-dimensional image of turbulent temperature-driven liquid metal flow using a self-developed method called contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT). This breakthrough could provide insights into geophysical and astrophysical flow phenomena and industrial applications, such as the casting of liquid steel. The team overcame challenges in measuring the small flow-induced magnetic fields and aims to further develop the measurement method for increased accuracy and deeper insights into turbulent liquid metal flows.

Hardware expert Der8auer delidded the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU, revealing its die and achieving a significant temperature reduction of up to 25 degrees by applying liquid metal. The delidding process involved using a delidding tool from Thermal Grizzly, and despite the APU's lower die height, thermal performance improved with the use of graphene thermal pads and liquid metal. While delidding may not have widespread market potential, it proved beneficial for reducing thermals and increasing clock speeds in constrained cooling setups.

Overclockers have successfully boosted the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU's RDNA3 graphics to 3.3 GHz, achieving stable performance with a voltage of 1.25. Additionally, using liquid metal instead of thermal compound has significantly reduced temperatures, with results showing a decrease from 85°C to just above 60°C during 5.0 GHz overclocking across all cores. The APU offers substantial overclocking potential, particularly for graphics, and replacing the conductive material underneath the integrated heatspreader can greatly enhance cooling efficiency and performance.

Scientists have developed a liquid metal coating that can be applied to paper and other materials without an adhesive, allowing them to be turned into smart objects. The metal coating conducts heat and electricity and can be used to create origami shapes that can re-fold themselves. The researchers also built 3D structures out of individual pieces of flat, metal-coated paper that could keep their shape without falling apart. The self-adhesive liquid metal coating could be an asset to soft robots in alien environments and could provide a new route for designing space explorers.
