Real-life 'Terminator 2' robot can melt to escape jail, then solidify on command
Scientists have created a tiny"Terminator 2"-like robot that can melt and resolidify itself on command, enabling it to easily escape from confined spaces.
And just like the spine-chilling T-1000 from"Terminator 2," the robot has shape-shifting abilities that make it an excellent escape artist. By using magnets to command their miniature creation to melt, the researchers recorded the robot transforming into an amorphous puddle to slither through the bars of a cage before miraculously reconstituting itself on the other side. The researchers published their findings Jan 25 in the journal Matter .
