- "Electrowetting is a well-known method to move liquid metal droplets along a path. It exploits electric fields to drag liquid metals along pre-determined paths in flexible electronics, just like blood in veins. In this paper we explore for the first time another effect: deformation of liquid droplets. In this way, the circuit is created without a channel to contain it, allowing free-style visualisation. Here, this phenomenon is exploited for deformable displays and adjustable circuitry. The paper has been covered by different media (e.g. PhysOrg.com [1]. ScienceDaily [2]). Feld-weighted citation impact 2.49 (Scopus) and Altmetric score 57.
