Electrowetting of liquid marbles [PDF]
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2006 Electrowetting of water drops on structured superhydrophobic surfaces are known to cause an irreversible change from a slippy (Cassie-Baxter) to sticky (Wenzel) regime. An alternative approach to using a water drop on a super-hydrophobic surface to obtain a non-wetting system is to use a liquid marble on a smooth solid substrate.

Frontiers in Soft MatterIntroductionGas 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-

Coalescence of electrically charged liquid marbles [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2017 In this work, we investigated the coalescence of liquid water marbles driven by a DC electric field. We have found that two contacting liquid marbles can be forced to coalesce when they are charged by a sufficiently high voltage. The threshold voltage leading to the electro-coalescence sensitively depends on the stabilizing particles as well as the ...

Measuring the effective surface tension of a floating liquid marble using X-ray imaging
, 2021 A liquid marble (LM) is a droplet coated with microparticles that isolate the liquid interior from its surroundings, making it perfectly non-wetting. This attractive feature allows the LM to perform useful tasks such as coalescence, targeted delivery ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.Integrated petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical data from the Hastanetepe Pb–Zn deposit (Balya, Türkiye) reveal multi‐stage hydrothermal alteration and a magmatic sulphur source. Fluid inclusion and sulphur isotope results indicate a complex fluid evolution responsible for skarn‐type Pb–Zn mineralization along limestone–dacite contacts ...
