Hole in one! Hole–shell microparticles (blue, see picture) with controllable structures and flexible internal surfaces have been fabricated from W/O/W emulsions. These microparticles could be used as microcontainers for the controlled capture/release of molecules, microsphere classification/separation, confined cell culture, or as microreactors for catalysis.
