Wonderland of “micro liquid marble”

Caption

The pink particle-decorated microdroplet, the so-called micro liquid marble, exhibits functionalities of both water and marble. Liquid marble is not sticky like a solid, yet it can split and merge like a liquid, opening a door to a microfluidics wonderland!
