Chlorella sensors in liquid marbles and droplets
The use of live organisms in electrically-coupled sensing devices has been suggested as an alternative low-cost, low-environmental footprint and robust technology for continuous monitoring and sensing applications. The utility of Chlorella vulgaris algae

Interfacial Crystallization within Liquid Marbles
We report interfacial crystallization in the droplets of saline solutions placed on superhydrophobic surfaces and liquid marbles filled with the saline. Evaporation of saline droplets deposited on superhydrophobic surface resulted in the formation of cup-

Self-propulsion of liquid marbles: Leidenfrost-like levitation driven by marangoni flow [PDF]
Self-propulsion of liquid marbles filled with aqueous alcohol solutions and placed on a water surface is reported. The characteristic velocity of the marbles is ca. 0.1 m/s.

Switchable opening and closing of a liquid marble via ultrasonic levitation [PDF]
Liquid marbles have promising applications in the field of microreactors, where the opening and closing of their surfaces plays a central role. We have levitated liquid water marbles using an acoustic levitator and, thereby, achieved the manipulation of ...

Liquid marbles: principles and applications [PDF]
The ability of particles to adhere to a fluid–fluid interface can stabilize the formation of an emulsion. When the encapsulated fluid is a liquid and the fluid in which it is immersed is air, the object formed is called a “Liquid Marble”. Here we discuss

Fabrication of salt–hydrogel marbles and hollow-shell microcapsules by an aerosol gelation technique [PDF]
We designed a new method for preparation of liquid marbles by using hydrophilic particles. Salt–hydrogel marbles were prepared by atomising droplets of hydrogel solution in a cold air column followed by rolling of the collected hydrogel microbeads in a ...

Liquid marbles: topical context within soft matter and recent progress [PDF]
The study of particle stabilized interfaces has a long history in terms of emulsions, foams and related dry powders. The same underlying interfacial energy principles also allow hydrophobic particles to encapsulate individual droplets into a stable form ...
