Can Liquid Metal Solve This Maze?

Do you think it is smart enough?

This experimenter tests out a hypothesis using liquid metal and something cool happens.  No this is not like the Terminator II movie where the dude can form himself from metal.  (at least we hope its not).  It actually has to do with physics and the properties of this substance.  Gallium is an element that is metallic and liquid at room temperatures.  It has been used in microprocessors and has some amazing capabilities.  Lucky for us this experimenter wanted to make a point and filmed it.  In their paper these researchers wanted to test this particular potential property:

They are testing a method to remove liquid metal from microfluidic channels utilizing voltage.

Let’s see if it can or can’t solve the maze in the video on page 2
