## Description

- description: 'Regulating droplet motion, with minimized energy input and adhesion
    loss, is promising for efficient liquid transportation. One efficient strategy
    is to design non-sticking droplets that exhibit regulated self-propelling. However,
    controlling the self-propelling trajectory while keeping a non-sticking property
    is challenging. Here, we developed a series of non-sticking solvent droplets that
    self-propelled on the water pool. These droplets are covered with omniphobic nanoparticles
    to become non-sticking, namely liquid marble. We found that the droplet self-propelling
    behavior, such as velocity and trajectory (i.e., polygonal, circular, spinning,
    and random), differed based on the liquid property (surface tension, solubility
    in water, volatility, etc.) owing to the branched underlying mechanism. The self-propelling
    driving force is not confined to the solute capillary force but extends to other
    forces, including the non-solute capillary, vapor-induced recoiling, and electrostatic
    force. The understanding of the self-propelling dynamics offered a basis for regulating
    the trajectories of self-propelling droplets of solvents from rectilinear to circular,
    random, stop-and-go motion, with a modulated transition time. Even liquid selective
    anti-wetting wettability at the perimeter of the water pool influenced the self-propelling
    behavior of the prepared liquid marbles. Thereafter, such liquid marbles were
    successfully explored in cargo transportation. '
