Chemists have synthesised non-wetting droplets using nanoclay and specific liquid. The droplets, called liquid marbles, can be chemically modified to ferry and release drugs in their soluble form ...

This is the time bomb type collapse of LMs," Dr Manna added. The details on the formation of the 'time bomb' liquid marbles have been published in the journal 'Advanced Functional Materials'.

A team of researchers at IIT Guwahati designed a non-sticking, non-wetting liquid marble that floats in water and releases its contents in a pre-programmed time.The research has been published in ...

The team also found that shining enough light on a marble would eventually cause it to burst, releasing the liquid inside. That could be useful for delivering liquids to certain locations, says Fujii.
