Supplementary Cover Art Highlighting of the Near-Frictionless Motion of Pico- to Nanoliter Droplets

Caption

This cover art highlights the near-frictionless motion of particle-coated pico- to nanoliter droplets (“micro liquid marbles”) on solid surfaces. This is enabled by liquid-repellent particle coating leading to precise control of ultra-small liquid volumes for microfluidics applications.
