Gizmodo takes a look at a new nanotech “skin”:
The applications for this sort of tech—beyond just doing stuff that just looks cool—could be anything from extendable antennae to super flexible wires. Use cases where you need metal, but not its characteristic rigidity. Because this sort of coating is in its early stages though, there’s no telling whether or not it’ll be possible to produce little galinstan pellets like this at anything resembling a reasonable cost, or that the coated metal will last long enough to be worth using—for Terminators or otherwise.
