YouTuber Steve Mould has repurposed a sophisticated medical research device for a wildly creative purpose: playing classic video games. Using a technology called electrowetting, the device allows him to control individual droplets of water on a grid, turning them into living pixels. After consulting the inventor and coding with an AI assistant, he successfully programmed playable versions of Snake and Pac-Man on the unique liquid screen.
