Near-infrared (NIR)-responsive liquid marbles were prepared using carbon nanotube (CNT) and fullerene (C60) powders. The liquid marbles were transferred to the surface of bulk water. The liquid marbles immediately disintegrated upon NIR irradiation due to conversion of NIR energy to heat. The NIR-responsive liquid marbles can be used to induce chemical reactions, if a liquid marble containing one reactant was floated on bulk water containing another reactant. Upon NIR irradiation, the liquid marble burst and the two reactants came in contact, triggering the reaction.
