“…In contrast, gallium and gallium-based alloys, such as the eutectic gallium–indium alloy (EGaIn, Ga 75.5 In 24.5 , 15.5 °C) and the eutectic gallium–indium–tin alloy (EGaInSn, Ga 68.5 In 21.5 Sn 10 , −19 °C), offer high biocompatibility and mild chemical activity. These advantages have attracted academic interest, leading to notable advancements in the field of liquid metals. − In this review, unless otherwise specified, the term “room-temperature liquid metals” refers specifically to gallium-based liquid metals.…”

Magnetically responsive soft smart materials have garnered significant academic attention due to their flexibility, remote controllability, and reconfigurability. However, traditional soft materials used in the construction of these magnetically responsive systems typically exhibit low density and poor thermal and electrical conductivities. These limitations result in suboptimal performance in applications such as medical radiography, high-performance electronic devices, and thermal management. To address these challenges, magnetically responsive gallium-based liquid metals have emerged as promising alternatives. In this review, we summarize the methodologies for achieving magnetically responsive liquid metals, including the integration of magnetic agents into the liquid metal matrix and the utilization of induced Lorentz forces. We then provide a comprehensive discussion of the key physicochemical properties of these materials and the factors influencing them. Additionally, we explore the advanced and potential applications of magnetically responsive liquid metals. Finally, we discuss the current challenges in this field and present an outlook on future developments and research directions.
