Facile preparation of colorful liquid marbles and liquid marbles used in water pollutant detection
, 2017 Liquid marbles are drops coated with a hydrophobic powder. Different liquid marbles can be easily distinguished by the diverse color appearance. Here, we first demonstrate colorful liquid marbles, which were encapsulated with colored superhydrophobic ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Columnaris is an important bacterial disease of freshwater fish and is increasingly recognised as being caused by a species complex historically referred to as Flavobacterium columnare. A two‐step molecular workflow was applied to ornamental fish with clinical signs of columnaris disease from a multispecies commercial distributor operating a ...

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 ...

Controlled Actuation of Liquid Marbles on a Dielectric [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018 Motivated by the great potential of droplet microreactors for chemical and biological applications, a general and robust method utilizing an electric field is developed for sustained, directional and two-dimensional manipulation of nonwetting droplets (termed "liquid marbles").

Mechanical Sequential Counting with Liquid Marbles [PDF]
, 2018 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 ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.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 ...
