Mechanical Sequential Counting with Liquid Marbles [PDF]
Here we demonstrate the first working example of a liquid marble-operated sequential binary counting device. We have designed a lightweight gate that can be actuated by the low mass and momentum of a liquid marble. By linking a number of these gates in series, we are able to digitally count up to binary 1111 (upper limit only by our requirements ...

Liquid marble coalescence via vertical collision
The coalescence process of liquid marbles is vital to their promising roles as reactors or mixers in digital microfluidics. However, the underlying mechanisms and critical conditions of liquid marble coalescence are not well understood.

Abstract figure legend Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly taken during pregnancy for pain and fever. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of paracetamol's effects during pregnancy, several elements need to be examined including the transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and into the developing brain, the short‐ and long‐term effects of ...

Manipulation of a floating liquid marble using dielectrophoresis
A liquid marble is a microliter-sized droplet coated with hydrophobic powder. The porous coating prevents the liquid content from being in direct physical contact with its surroundings, making the liquid marble perfectly non-wetting. On the one hand, the

ABSTRACT Rationale Approximately 3–4 kg of NBS 19 limestone, prepared in 1982 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), serves as a primary reference for the carbon isotope scales VPDB and VPDB‐LSVEC and the oxygen isotope scale VPDB. Its consensus values are +1.95‰ for δ13C and −2.2‰ for δ18O measurements.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.
