On page 6036, J. Liu and co‐workers discover electric‐field‐induced transformations of liquid metals between different morphologies and configurations. With these material‐transformation capabilities, such materials are attractive for future applications such as liquid‐metal recycling, soft machine manufacture, locomotion‐assisted devices, movable sensors, microfluidic valves and pumps, or artificial robots.
