title: Bubble-induced transport of oil droplets in water.
abstract: An oil droplet wrapped with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted nanoparticles can ascend or descend in water repeatedly by simply tuning the temperature of water above or below 33 °C, while avoiding the use of sophisticated equipment and complex nanostructures.
