Tsinghua team develops liquid metal exoskeleton, what benefits will this invention bring to humans?

The liquid-metal exoskeleton sounds fragile and has no concrete form, but it actually works very well, and the invention could bring three benefits to humans. The first is that it can help patients recover better and without side effects. This kind of liquid metal bone has two forms can replace the original role of the plaster, and will not make the patient have any discomfort. The second is that it can effectively reduce costs. Although plaster is not too rare a substance, these reusable liquid metal exoskeletons can better reduce the utilization of resources. The third is that it can reduce the damage of medical things. Since these exoskeletons come in two forms and have an excellent texture, they will not be destroyed by any external impact.

For some patients who are in a cast after a fracture, they are bound to have a lot of inconvenience in their daily lives, with their arms tied up in a way that makes it impossible for them to perform some small daily actions. In contrast, although the cast is more obviously fixed, there is actually a gap in the middle part, which makes the patient do some movements, the arm will still have related activities, so naturally, the recovery is not as good as the completely fixed liquid metal exoskeleton. These liquid metal exoskeletons are tighter than casts under normal conditions and can better restrain the patient's small movements.

Every patient with a fracture uses lime in a cast, and while these turtles are medically processed, the substance isn't actually available everywhere. After the invention of these liquid metal exoskeletons, people only need to follow the original technology to produce inexpensive and reusable exoskeletons, and do not have to increase the cost because of the plaster problem.

Plaster, though very hard after solidifying, can still fall off when faced with some impacts, and once it falls off, it will affect the results. But this kind of liquid metal, once the skeleton plays its real role, because of its own material specificity, will not be easily damaged or destroyed by other external things.

And these three points are the benefits that this invention will bring to humanity.
