Manipulation of liquid marbles [PDF]

Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2015
A liquid marble is a liquid droplet coated with hydrophobic powder which enables the marble to be manipulated like a soft solid. Recently, liquid marbles have been used in applications such as microbioreactors for three-dimensional cell cultures and could be a new platform for digital microfluidics.

Edible gas marbles stabilized with cocoa particles: understanding their behavior by tuning the edible liquid phase

Frontiers in Soft Matter
IntroductionGas marbles have recently emerged as a new class of particle-stabilized gas–liquid systems. A gas marble consists of a single air bubble suspended in air and encapsulated by a thin liquid shell stabilized by solid particles, forming an air-in-

Liquid Metal Marbles

Advanced Functional Materials, 2012
AbstractLiquid metal marbles that are droplets of liquid metal encapsulated by micro‐ or nanoparticles are introduced. Droplets of galinstan liquid metal are coated with insulators (including Teflon and silica) and semiconductors (including WO3, TiO2, MoO3, In2O3 and carbon nanotubes) by rolling over a powder bed and also by submerging in colloidal ...

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]

, 2007
Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Divergent Roles of mGlu2 and mGlu3 Receptors in Amyloid‐β Production and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden
