- Lincoln Laboratory researchers have developed a new class of micro-hydraulic actuator that uses electrowetting of tiny water droplets to generate mechanical force.  
- Despite sounding like a low-force, high-voltage curiosity, the device reportedly achieves power and torque densities competitive with conventional electromagnetic motors.  
- A short video demonstration circulated on Twitter/X (https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1843058119003213824/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/4zb718tH_C_eui3B.mp4) sparked excitement, but channel participants cautioned that scaling claims may be over-optimistic.  
- The official technology page at MIT Lincoln Lab (https://www.ll.mit.edu/partner-us/available-technologies/microhydraulic-actuator) provides further technical details and licensing information.  
- Discussion highlighted skepticism about dimensional scaling while acknowledging potential niche applications where the unique physical properties of microfluidics are advantageous.
