Liquid Marbles are the Coolest Scientific Breakthrough I've Made (So Far)

A liquid marble is an otherworldly combination of liquid and solid. Shaped like a solid marble but with many properties of a liquid, these strange objects were invented in 2001 and quickly went science-viral. Our host George finds the original paper reporting their discovery but in his excitement misses the crucial fact that it’s been cited over 1000 times.
