So these wires have to be sealed away where living things cannot get to them. Gallium and possibly indium are poisonous. So these wires have to be sealed away where living things cannot get to them.

Now, I think it would be great if they could find a microchannel liner material with wetting proporties that could be controlled through the application of a voltage, creating a switching mechanism anywhere along the channel where the voltage was applied.
