Liquid metals (LMs) in an alkaline electrolyte , when placed on a graphite surface, are able to be manipulated into desired flat, stable shapes with sharp angles, like triangles. Unique transformations and worm‐like anti‐gravity upslope LM locomotion under a low‐voltage electric field are also revealed.
