The chemical inertness of graphite and, in the case of tubes, of rolled up few layer graphene sheets, requires some degree of “defect engineering” for the fabrication of carbon based heterostructured materials. It is shown that atomic layer deposition provides a means to specifically label anchoring sites and can be u…

Liquid marbles are liquid droplets covered with hydrophobic particles. This particular layer physically isolates them from the substrate on which they are deposited. In this study, we investigate the properties of such liquid marbles when impacting onto a solid substrate. The different behaviors during impact (non-bou…
