Liquid marbles Liquid marbles provide a new approach to transport liquid mass on the solid surface, which sufficiently transform the inconvenient glass containers into flexible, user-specified hydrophobic coating composed of powders of hydrophobic materials. Since then, the applications of liquid marbles in no-loss mass transport, microfluidics and microreactors have been extensively investigated. However, liquid marbles only reflect the water behavior at the solid-air interface, while there is no report on the water behavior at the liquid-liquid interface, as a result of the so-called coalescence cascade phenomenon. When a water droplet is in contact with a water reservoir, it will quickly pinch off
Cherokee marbles Cherokee marbles Cherokee marbles (ᏗᎦᏓᏲᏍᏗ, digadayosdi), or "five hole," is a traditional game among the Cherokee people of the United States. It is played, traditionally, with round balls made of stone, but now sometimes with standard billiard balls. An annual tournament is held during Cherokee National Holiday each Labor Day weekend. The origin of the game is unknown, and it is not mentioned in the works of ethnologist James Mooney. Cherokee marbles is a similar game to the rolley hole marbles played by Anglo-Americans in Kentucky and Tennessee, though the dimensions are different and rolley hole uses three holes instead
