The exceptional deformability and mobility of liquid-metal matter in aqueous environments confer significant potential in simulating various biomimetic behaviors. Here, inspired by biochemotaxis in nature, we fabricate a leukocyte-like liquid-metal entity that successfully simulates various leukocyt...
