At the Indian Institute of Science, researchers devised a pioneering method using capillary forces to encapsulate liquid droplets for various applications. This technique involves coating droplets with a composite shell, allowing precise control over shell thickness and accommodating droplets of different sizes. Lead by Prosenjit Sen, the team achieved reduced evaporation rates by up to 200 times, extending droplets lifespans significantly.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed liquid marbles using nano clay that can be pre-programmed for drug delivery and cascade chemical reactions.

The research has been published in the prestigious journal: Advanced Functional Materials. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed liquid marbles using nano clay that can be pre-programmed for drug delivery and cascade chemical reactions, said one of the researchers.

The team from IIT Guwahati led by Dr Uttam Manna, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry and Centre for Nanotechnology, has used the liquid marbles approach for the controlled release of drugs and programmed chemical reactions.
