These cylindrically-shaped double emulsions, drops inside of drops, wiggle and buckle after they detach from the nozzle and flow through a microfluidic capillary device. The goal is to utilize them to detect and cure diseases in the human body, like something from the science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage, by loading them with drugs and sensors.
