Magnetically Driven Manipulation of Nonmagnetic Liquid Marbles: Billiards with Liquid Marbles
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.

Responsive Photonic Liquid Marbles [PDF]
AbstractLiquid marbles have potential to serve as mini‐reactors for fabricating new materials, but this has been exploited little and mostly for conventional chemical reactions. Here, we uncover the unparalleled capability of liquid marbles to act as platforms for controlling the self‐assembly of a bio‐derived polymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose, into a ...

Coalescence Processes of Droplets and Liquid Marbles [PDF]
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

Remotely Controllable Liquid Marbles [PDF]
With the ongoing need for miniaturized systems in many biological and chemical applications, there is an increasing demand for the development of versatile methods for controllable transport and manipulation of small volumes of liquids.1–9 Recently, liquid marbles — liquid droplets encapsulated by self-organized hydrophobic particles at the liquid/air ...

Polyhedral Liquid Marbles [PDF]
AbstractA new type of armored droplet, a so‐called polyhedral liquid marble, is introduced in this work. These armored liquid marbles consist of liquid droplets stabilized by hydrophobic hexagonal plates made of poly(ethylene terephthalate), which adsorb to the liquid–air interface.

Brushed creation of liquid marbles [PDF]
A method where particulates are transferred via a cosmetic brush onto liquid drops created on a highly non-wetting substrate with a hole to generate talc and graphite liquid marbles (LMs) and talc-graphite Janus liquid marbles is described. van der Waals

Liquid Marbles in Liquid [PDF]
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 ...

Liquid Marble Photosensor [PDF]
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.

The gelatin-based liquid marbles for cell cryopreservation
As an alternative and a straightforward cryopreservation biotechnological tool, liquid marble provides a promising cryopreservation approach. Currently, effective cell preservation mainly based on the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and fetal ...
