Magnetically Driven Manipulation of Nonmagnetic Liquid Marbles: Billiards with Liquid Marbles
Micromachines, 2022 Liquid marbles are droplets encapsulated by a layer of hydrophobic nanoparticles and have been extensively employed in digital microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems in recent years.

Liquid Marble Photosensor [PDF]
ChemPhysChem, 2019 AbstractA liquid marble is a liquid droplet coated by a hydrophobic powder. The liquid marble does not wet adjacent surfaces and therefore can be manipulated as a dry soft body. A Belousov‐Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is an oscillatory chemical reaction exhibiting waves of oxidation. We demonstrate how to make a photo‐sensor from BZ medium liquid marbles.

Floating mechanism of a small liquid marble. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractFlotation of small solid objects and liquid droplets on water is critical to natural and industrial activities. This paper reports the floating mechanism of liquid marbles, or liquid droplets coated with hydrophobic microparticles. We used X-ray computed tomography (XCT) to acquire cross-sectional images of the floating liquid marble and ...

Liquid marble: A novel liquid nanofoam structure for energy absorption
AIP Advances, 2017 The liquid nanofoam (LN), a system composed of liquid and hydrophobic nanoporous particles, is a promising energy absorbing material. Despite its excellent energy absorbing capabilities under quasi-static conditions, the LN’s performance is limited under

Coalescence Processes of Droplets and Liquid Marbles [PDF]
Micromachines, 2017 The coalescence process of droplets and, more recently, of liquid marbles, has become one of the most essential manipulation schemes in digital microfluidics. This process is indispensable for realising microfluidic functions such as mixing and reactions

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AIn the insect realm, liquids become traps due to capillary and viscous forces dominant at their scale. Yet, aphids handle the highly viscous honeydew droplets they secrete by coating them with hydrophobic wax powder which maintains an air layer between their body and the liquid.

Liquid Marbles in Liquid [PDF]
Small, 2020 AbstractTraditional liquid marbles (LMs), liquid droplets encapsulated by hydrophobic particles at the liquid–gas interface, are restricted by their short lifetime and low heat transfer efficiency. Herein, a new paradigm for LMs immersed in various liquid mediums with massive enhanced heat transfer and spatial recognition is designed; without ...
