title: Giant slip at liquid-liquid interfaces using hydrophobic ball bearings.
abstract: Liquid-gas-liquid interfaces stabilized by hydrophobic beads behave as ball bearings under shear and exhibit a giant slip. Using a scaling analysis and molecular dynamics simulations we predict that, when the contact angle θ between the beads and the liquid is large, the slip length diverges as Rρ(-1)(π-θ)(-3) where R is the bead radius, and ρ is the bead density.
