Researchers have made a revolutionary find after learning that air bubbles in liquid exhibit an unexpected 'galloping' motion when shaken vertically. Surprisingly, instead of following the expected up ...
Negative energy may not be the showstopper it might be the geometry. That’s the bottom line from the latest warp‑drive study ...
We’ve all delighted in the simple joy of blowing bubbles, but most of us never stop to think about the underlying physics. Now French physicists have devised a mathematical model that precisely ...
Few of us have not paused at one time or another to marvel at the beauty of a soap bubble. The iridescent, evanescent orbs, which can persist for minutes before vanishing in an instant, have ...
As you pour your Champagne to celebrate the New Year, remember that the physics behind those bubbles has some real-world applications. Courtesy of Flickr user Quinn Dombrowski Whatever the occasion, ...
Bubbles are a serious business. While they’re beloved as a childhood pastime and a bathtub luxury, the physics behind the delicate, iridescent clusters remains remarkably complex. Now mathematicians ...
Physicists have seen a region of plasma in a single-bubble sonoluminescence experiment for the first time. They have also found that the temperature inside the bubble can reach up to 20,000 K (D ...
Watch this bubble as it dissolves into drops. If you notice, the thinning portion loses it colors just before it bursts. Here’s why time, and decay, sap bubbles of their colors. These amazing photos ...
Toil and trouble: bacteria release biosurfactants that create thinner bubble caps. (Courtesy: iStock/trigga) Bacteria can alter the behaviour of bubbles on the surface of contaminated water – which ...
