Yeah his name came up during the Lynch thing a couple years ago

The metal microbot, made out of liquid metal microparticles that can be steered and reshaped by external magnetic fields, has been widely compared to the character T-1000 in “The Terminator” movie franchise, a cyborg assassin played by Robert Patrick that could morph his way around solid objects before embarking on a murderous rampage.

But, in contrast with the film, the inventors of this robot believe their discovery can be used for good — particularly in clinical and mechanical settings — by reaching hard-to-reach spaces.

The robot was presented as part of a study into the metal microparticles, known as a type of magnetoactive phase transitional matter, that can morph shape, move quickly, be controlled easily and carry many times its own body weight. ....

Grey goo here we come ...

I'm just waiting to be called up for Nano Augmentations. (I've been waiting since the release of the original Deus Ex in 2000. Some kids wanted a letter from Hogwarts...).
