Moving Slime移动的黏液

陈佳

Chinese scientists created a slime which can move. It can move through narrowspaces， encircle smaller objects， and heal itself. The slime has very small magnets2，and scientists can move it with other magnets. It can act as both a solid and aliquid. It could bend and change its shape to make the O and C letters. Although themagnetic parts are toxic3， theyre safe when theyre covered in a siliconecompound4. Scientists hope that it can be possible to use the slime in the digestive5system. For example， it can help people when they swallow a small object， such as abattery6. People on social media compared the slime to Flubber from the 1997sci-fi movie. They said that it was amazing but a little scary， too.

中國的科学家创造了一种可以移动的黏液。它可以挤进狭窄的空间，包围较小的物体，并自我修复。这种黏液有非常小的磁铁，科学家们利用其他磁铁移动它。它既像固体也像液体。它可以弯曲并改变形状，以形成O 和C 字母。虽然磁性部件是有毒的，但当它们被硅化合物覆盖时，它们是安全的。科学家们希望能够在消化系统中的利用这种黏液。例如，当人们吞下一个小物体，比如电池时，它可以帮到人们。社交媒体上的人们将这种黏液比作1997 年那部科幻电影中的“飞天法宝”。他们说这很神奇，但也有点吓人。
