Liquid marbles remain stable on solid and liquid surfaces. Statics and dynamics of rolling and bouncing of liquid marbles were reported. Liquid marbles coated with poly-disperse and mono-disperse particles have been reported. Liquid marbles are not hermetically coated by solid particles but connected to the gaseous phase. Kinetics of the evaporation of liquid marbles has been investigated. Liquid marbles were first reported by P. Aussillous and D. Quere in 2001, who described a new method to construct portable water droplets in the atmospheric environment with hydrophobic coating on their surface to prevent the contact between water and the solid ground (Figure 1).
