It's not like liquid metal assassins can't be stopped... as long as you've got a Terminator. Picture: TriStar
IT's one of the most asked for items on every would-be supervillain's wishlist - when am I getting my T1000 army?
British researcher Lee Cronin may have the answer.
Working at the University of Glasgow, he claims he has created lifelike cells which are based on metal.
What's more, he claims they may be "replicating and evolving".
New Scientist is reporting that Prof Cronin builds his "high-functioning cells" from ions taken from metal atoms such as tungsten.
He adds them to a specialised saline solution, where they gather in bubbly spheres.
Prof Cronin calls the structures iCHELLS - inorganic chemical cells.
