WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio, Oct. 2 -- The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's Materials and Manufacturing Directorate issued the following news:

The Air Force Research Laboratory has developed liquid metal systems which autonomously change structure so that they become better conductors in response to strain.

Conductive materials change their properties as they are strained or stretched. Typically, electrical conductivity decreases and resistance increa . . .
