Liquid marble for gas sensing.
Summary of "Liquid marble for gas sensing."
The porous and superhydrophobic shell of a liquid marble prevents contact of its liquid core with outside surfaces, but allows gas transport. Liquid marble can therefore be used to sense gas or emit gas. Liquid marbles loaded with different indicators can simultaneously sense different gases via different mechanisms.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Receptors, Calcium-sensing
A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that react to varying extracellular CALCIUM levels. Calcium-sensing receptors in the PARATHYROID GLANDS play an important role in the maintenance of calcium HOMEOSTASIS by regulating the release of PARATHYROID HORMONE. They differ from INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM-SENSING PROTEINS which sense intracellular calcium levels.
Gravity Sensing
Process whereby a cell, bodily structure, or organism (animal or plant) receives or detects a gravity stimulus. Gravity sensing plays an important role in the directional growth and development of an organism (GRAVITROPISM).
Intracellular Calcium-sensing Proteins
Intracellular signaling peptides and proteins that bind to CALCIUM. They undergo allosteric changes when bound to CALCIUM that affects their interaction with other signal-transducing molecules. They differ from CALCIUM-SENSING RECEPTORS which sense extracellular calcium levels.
Countercurrent Distribution
A method of separation of two or more substances by repeated distribution between two immiscible liquid phases that move past each other in opposite directions. It is a form of liquid-liquid chromatography. (Stedman, 25th ed)
Chromatography, Liquid
Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid.
